Re: anthill, jboss, ant and classpath

Hi Leoš,

from what I can tell your javac ant task fails because of the missing 
jar. The thing is that adding the jar to the anthill.ant.home location 
will not work because that location is for jars required by the ant 
tasks themselves.
My guess is that your ant script javac task needs a "classpath" 
attribute that will point to the location of the ejb3-persistence.jar 
relative to the ant execution directory (this will in reality accomplish 
the same as the "-classpath 
/opt/anthill/lib/apache-ant-1.7.0/ejb3-persistence.jar" option that you 
use from command line).
Here is a link to the ant tutorial that has some examples of javac tasks 
with a classpath attribute: 
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html

Regards,
Varban
