there are 4 classpath properties you pass to the maven-ant runtime environment
<property name="compile_classpath"
refid="maven.compile.classpath"/>
<property name="runtime_classpath"
refid="maven.runtime.classpath"/>
<property name="test_classpath" refid="maven.test.classpath"/>
<property name="plugin_classpath"
refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/if the missing jar is located on
maven.runtime.classpath then the ant runtime should resolve the classpath
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/classpaths.html
when you get a chance could you explain why you are repackaging maven in an ant
environment
seems like you're effort is to stuff a mercedes engine in a yugo
?
