goodmorning, I'm facing a problem and, on all the solutions I found online, I still can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I have a java appplication that connects to a database and can send out email to the user. On eclipse it works perfectly.
I proceeded on build an Ant file in order to compile, create database, make a jar file and clean up.
The build is successful and the jar file executes without troubles but, when I try to do some operation with database (using postgres) it shows this exception:



I understand that it's missing the postgres driver...but on all the solutions I found (and tried) online I'm still facing this issue...
here's my build.xml file



all the external jars are into the lib directory in the main project folder.
What I am doing wrong?
thank you for your help..

I solved this issue by copying the external jars that are inside my lib folder into a new lib inside "dist" folder where i create the main app .jar file. I have to do it manually.
Now looking for some Ant command to have it automatically.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
