How to add one folder in classpath for ant script?

Question

I need to add a folder in current classpath for ant script that I have written for running java files. How can it be done?

Answer 1

You could add it as an attribute

<java classpath="${extraDir}"
      classname="pkg.Class">
      ...
</java>

Or using the nested <classpath> tag:

<java classname="pkg.Class">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement path="${extraDir}"/>
  </classpath>
</java>

See the documentation for the Java task .

Answer 2

i added the following line in the tag of the task and it ran successfully.

<pathelement path="C:\JunitTest\folderIsHere"/>

and after this the script ran successfully.
