Re: [Springframework-developer] Attributes

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

A few days ago I changed the build to make the taskdef for the attribute 
compiler use a classpath to bring in these needed jars, instead of 
relying on the user to add them to the ant lib dir.

Generally it can cause complications/problems to add libs directly to 
the ant lib dir, and best avoided if at all possible. For example, if 
you add xjavadoc.jar there, then you have to add all the other xdoclet 
modules there as well, if you want to use xdoclet elsewhere.

There seem to be no issues with this approach, with both ant 1.6 and 1.5...
