Build.xml jar.libs.dir

Question

I have tried to figure out how to link library jars to my android project.

I created the build.xml with

android update project -p .

And I have defined ant.properties as

jar.libs.dir=lib

I also added a -pre-build task to copy some libs to the directory:

<target name="-pre-build">
  <copy todir="${jar.libs.dir}">
    <fileset 
      dir="absolute-path-from-my-dir" 
      includes="*.jar" />
  </copy>
</target>

and this succeeds, since I can see this in the ant output:

-pre-build:
     [copy] Copying 2 files to absolute-path-to-my-lib

However, I can also see this:

-build-setup:
     [echo] Resolving Build Target for MyAndroidApp...
[gettarget] Project Target:   Android 2.3.3
[gettarget] API level:        10
     [echo] ----------
     [echo] Creating output directories if needed...
     [echo] ----------
     [echo] Resolving Dependencies for MyAndroidApp...
[dependency] Library dependencies:
[dependency] No Libraries
[dependency]
[dependency] ------------------
[dependency] API<=15: Adding annotations.jar to the classpath.

and the javac task fails, since it cannot find classes that are in the libraries.

What am I missing?

I did already. And I defined jar.libs.dir accordingly in ant.properties — Jouni Aro, Dec 12 '12 at 13:34

It seems that this is the solution:

Is jar.libs.dir not being overridden properly?

So it's a bug in Android:
