about external jar file dependency in ant build

Hi,

I am working on a project that used multiple open source java packages
in addition to J2EE. My question is that

1) where do you guys put these jars files, in the ..\lib directory
where these packages installed? or put them into a single location?

2) During deployment, do you put all these jars files inside
tomcat_home\shared\lib, or just set the classpath to where thse ..lib
directory where these packages installed?

3) How to make ant build easier for the build and deployment process?

Thanks,

David
