Pass a command line argument to Ant in Hudson

Question

I'm trying to pass a -lib argument to ant as part of an automated build using Hudson but can't see a way to do this. I could add the relevant libraries to the ant/lib folder but that would then mean the same version of the library necessarily being shared by all builds on that machine.

Any help much appreciated.

In your Hudson job configuration you can specify ant arguments such as -lib in the Targets field. See the help message that opens when you click the ? next to the Targets field.
