I've tried like this (link): <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" /> <taskdef resource="net/sf/ant4eclipse/antlib.xml" /> <target name="copy_jars"> <getEclipseClasspath workspace="${basedir}/.." projectname="MyProject" property="classpath" relative="false" runtime="true" pathseparator="#" /> <!-- iterate over all classpath entries --> <foreach list="${classpath}" delimiter="#" target="copy_jar_file" param="classpath.entry" /> </target> <target name="copy_jar_file"> <!-- check if current is a .jar-file ... --> <if> <isfileselected file="${classpath.entry}"> <filename name="**/*.jar" /> </isfileselected> <then> <!-- copy the jar file to a destination directory --> <copy file="${classpath.entry}" tofile="${dest.dir}"/> </then> </if> </target> But I get the exception: [getEclipseClasspath] net.sf.ant4eclipse.model.FileParserException: Could not parse plugin project 'E:\...\MyProject' since it contains neither a Bundle-Manifest nor a plugin.xml!

Reason: Could not parse plugin project 'E:\...\MyProject' since it contains neither a Bundle-Manifest nor a plugin.xml! I wan't to copy just the jars, not the referenced projects. Is there a way to parametrize the task getEclipseClasspath so it only gets the jars, not the projects?
