Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout

I'm trying to build an application using ant. Everything appears to be fine when I build but I continually get the above error for what I've tried so far.

• java -jar dist/pmml_export.jar
• java -cp ".:log4j-1.2.16.jar" -jar dist/pmml_export.jar
• java -cp log4j-1.2.16.jar -jar dist/pmml_export.jar

I doubled checked to see if Layout was in the jar I'm referencing and it is there. I'm 开发者_JAVA百科fairly new to both ant and log4j so I could be making an obvious mistake but I'm just not seeing it. Here is my build.xml.

When you use the -jar option, the -cp and -classpath options are ignored. The proper way to embed the classpath with the -jar option is to set a Class-Path directive in the jar's MANIFEST.MF file.
