External ant classpath [message #74577]

I need help setting the classpath for an external ant build file in a
manner that will work for a team of developers working on differnt
machines - i.e., when external packages aren't always installed in the
same place.

I have a build.xml file like;

<project default="mine">
<target name="mine" >
<java dir="." fork="true" classname="myPackage.myClass">
<arg value="myDoc.xml" />
</java>
</target>
</project>

I have tried;

- placing a link to myPackage.jar in ~/.ant/lib
- adding an environment variable 'export MY_HOME=myPath', and adding an
entry for ${env_var:MY_HOME}/myPackage.jar to the ant Runtime preferences
- using
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${env.MY_HOME}/myPackage.jar"/>
</classpath>
- using
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
- a couple of other variations I can't recall.

Also, is there a mechanism that works for both IDE builds and external
builders? I.e., a way to define the classpath once and have it work
throughout?

Thank you for your help.

We have a bug currently with not supporting ${user.home}/.ant/lib
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98412
