Thanks for the info I decided to specify each of the JARS as turned out only
needed 3 in any case. Now when I run the app I get an error as a XML file
cannot be found. 

I did the following in the ant target:

<zipfileset file="src/java/x-jdbc.xml" prefix="" />

and this file exists in my JAR but when running the JAR the file cannot be
found?
