Answer 1

just add the class path reference in ant script.You can see a tag called

  <classpath>

inside this tag you can find another tag,

<pathelement path="./lib/rt.jar" />

add another pathelement tag and put the mongodb jar name. Like:-<pathelement path="./lib/com.mongodb.jar" />

And make sure that the respective jar should be present inside your lib folder also. I think this will work fine.Try it and let me know.
