Hi Andrew,

Let me first make sure I got you right. When you say I need to set the
compile time classpath, this is the file you are referring to:

<!-- Build file for the project. -->
<project basedir="." default="launch" name="filetest">

 <target name="properties">
   <property name="build" value="build" />
   <property name="dist" value="dist" />
   <property name="src" value="src" />

   <!-- Pot luck guess at location of
   suitable 'web-start' jar. -->
   <property
     name="classpath"
     value="${java.home}/lib/javaws.jar" />

   <!-- Web-start will prompt the user to associate this
   file type with the application.  Change if it clashes
   with an existing file type. -->
   <property
     name="file.extension"
     value="zzz" />
   <property
     name="file.content-type"
     value="text/sleepytime" />
 </target>

 <target
   name="compile"
   depends="properties"
   description="Compile the project" >
   <mkdir dir="${build}/share" />
   <javac
     debug="on"
     destdir="${build}/share"
     srcdir="${src}/java"
     source="1.2"
     classpath="${classpath}" />
   <copy todir="${build}/share">
     <fileset dir="${src}/java">
       <exclude name="**/CVS" />
       <exclude name="**/*.java" />
     </fileset>
   </copy>
 </target>

 <target
   name="dist"
   depends="compile"
   description="Create project distribution" >
   <mkdir dir="${build}/jar" />
   <mkdir dir="${build}/jar/lib" />
   <jar destfile="${build}/jar/filetest.jar">
     <fileset dir="${build}/share">
       <include name="**/*.class" />
     </fileset>
   </jar>
   <!-- Generate the keystore -->
   <delete file="filetest.keystore" />
   <genkey alias="filetest"
     storepass="secret"
     keystore="filetest.keystore"
     verbose="true">
     <dname>
       <param name="CN" value="Andrew Thompson"/>
       <param name="OU" value="PhySci"/>
       <param name="O"  value="physci.org"/>
       <param name="C"  value="CI"/>
     </dname>
   </genkey>
   <!-- Sign the jar (required only for trusted launch) -->
   <signjar
     jar="${build}/jar/filetest.jar"
     alias="filetest"
     storepass="secret"
     keystore="filetest.keystore" />
 </target>

 <target
   name="make-launch-file"
   depends="properties"
   description="Copies and configures the launch file" >
   <copy todir="${build}/jar" >
     <fileset dir="${src}/conf" >
       <include name="**/*.jnlp" />
     </fileset>
   </copy>

   <replace dir="${build}/jar/">
     <include name="**/*.jnlp" />
     <replacefilter
       token="%file.extension%"
       value="${file.extension}" />
     <replacefilter
       token="%file.content-type%"
       value="${file.content-type}" />
   </replace>
 </target>

 <target
   name="launch"
   depends="dist, make-launch-file"
   description="Launch the project using webstart">
   <exec executable="javaws"
     dir="${build}/jar">
     <arg line="-codebase file:. file:./filetest.jnlp" />
   </exec>
 </target>

 <target
   name="uninstall"
   depends="properties"
   description="Uninstall the project from the webstart cache">
   <exec executable="javaws">
     <arg
       line="-uninstall http://www.physci.org/jws/filetest.jnlp"
       />
   </exec>
 </target>

 <target name="clean"
   depends="properties"
   description="Clean all generated files">
     <delete dir="${build}" />
     <delete dir="${dist}" />
 </target>
</project>

In the above, is this the code you are referring to?

   <javac
     debug="on"
     destdir="${build}/share"
     srcdir="${src}/java"
     source="1.2"
     classpath="${classpath}" />
   <copy todir="${build}/share">
     <fileset dir="${src}/java">
       <exclude name="**/CVS" />
       <exclude name="**/*.java" />

If I copy the JMatLink.class and JMatLink.dll files to directory "$
{java.home}/lib/, would it do the job since that is the compile
classpath?
