Question

I have following ant mail task -

Answer 1

Unforunately you can't. You have to put Library Dependencies into the ant classpath somehow.

This could be the ANTH_HOME/lib dir or a change to the command line arguments.

Ant has a command-line argument to specify a lib dir:

-lib  specifies a path to search for jars and classes

You could also call ant from ant itself with that info, which may be a bit ugly:

If you execute this task from eclipse, you can add the libs to the run definition of the task and share this run definition with other developers.
