I thought you knew; you updated lib/libraries.properties like you did, that being the property file that drives it. 1. get the maven dependency tasks for ant; stick them in ant home 2. set up your proxy settings in ANT_OPTS, if needed. 3. go ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system all this will pull down the version of many things that are in libraries.properties if they are not there. make sure you dont have old versions on your classpath. Because we are copying them into the dir, the old ones are not purged. -steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

installation instructions for ant under jpackage
There have been some comments on the jpackage.org mailing list to the effect that our manual doesn't really have correct installation instructions for that environment, although elsewhere on our site we do link to them. I have rewritten the install manual page to add this content, but rather than commit it and then draw comments, I decided to post it on my own site temporarily for comment. If there is none, I'll just commit it. http://www.javactivity.org/jpackage/install.html#jpackage is the main link. There's also an internal link a few lines above. Otherwise, I kept the content the same. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
