I can't recall seeing any better solutions than simply using Ant and
it's inherent classpath capabilities to run an executable java class. 
 At its simplest an Ant classpath could contain a directory and all
the jar files in that directory are automatically added to the
classpath (although there are other more sophisticated Ant
configuration approaches with properties files and such).

See for example:
