This is a follow-up to this question. I’ve got the same problem as the original poster, but practically 0 skill with Ant. I tried reading about the ant copy task but clearly that documentation is not intended for the uninitiated. Can someone tell me how to modify Project A’s build setup in ant and Jenkins so that it includes the proper jar files from project B? Copying them to Project A’s libs folder is ok.
Also, how would I avoid having separate properties files locally and on the server so that eclipse and jenkins can avoid touching each other but I can still keep everything under source control?
I found what I needed here. Adding the copy task prior to the build step ensured that the libraries were found.
To keep the copy paths and local properties from conflicting I use the .classpath file for eclipse builds.
