I have a project in Java I am running that uses an external JAR file

I have a project in Java I am running that uses an external JAR file.

In Eclipse I added the JAR file to the class build path and everything working fine.

But my question is: how can I add it to my project after I created the executable JAR (myPtog.jar) and I am running "ant" in cmd but the external jar file is not found?

This is my build.xml:

<project name="" default="dist" basedir=".">
    <description>
        Ant
    </description>

    <!-- Set global properties for this build. -->
    <property name="src" location="src"/>
    <property name="build" location="target"/>

    <target name="init">
        <tstamp/>
        <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
    </target>

    <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source ">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>
    </target>

    <target name="dist" depends="compile" description="generate the distribution">
        <jar jarfile="TPCServer.jar" basedir="${build}">
            <manifest>
                <attribute name="Main-Class" value="Main1"/>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
    </target>

    <target name="clean" description="clean up">
        <delete dir="${build}"/>
        <delete dir="${dist}"/>
    </target>
</project>

Maven may do the trick for you. It will auto-configure your project for the most part and give you a simple command line for building a target JAR.

Try using JSmooth.

In Eclipse, on Project Explorer view, right click your project, than Export... -> Java -> Runnable JAR File. This will re-package all your libs (jars) with your project. Watch out for license permission for re-packaging.

You need to set CLASSPATH appropriately to contain the path of the executable jar as well as the external jars.
