How use jarbundler to create an .app from JPortsUI.jar?

[Murray Eisenberg]

OK, so I changed build.xml to:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <project name="JPortsUI">
   <taskdef name="jarbundler" 
         classname="net.sourceforge.jarbundler.JarBundler" />
   </project>

Now running "ant build.xml" gives a different error:


Buildfile: /Users/[myuserdirname]/jPorts/build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/Users/[myuserdirname]/jPorts/build.xml:4: taskdef class net.sourceforge.jarbundler.JarBundler cannot be found
 using the classloader AntClassLoader[]

I don't know where the MacPorts apache-ant port is supposed to put that unfound file.

Given the configuration of MacPorts, with ports going into /opt, what does that mean I also need to do, if anything?  I note that /opt/local/lib has no ant subdirectory.
