Instead of increasing the complexity of the script by orders of magnitude, why not just assume a little sanity of our Java developer(s)?
history and experince tought/teaches us that humans (all of them!) tend to forget more than computers ;-)
In the end this is legacy anyway, as the windows installers should become modularised as well. Besides that, including jdbcclient.jar only (which was made unversioned for this reason!!!) would be sufficient, as it includes the other jars.
So, how about putting our energy into fixing that instead of making a little helper script as complicated as possible.
Fine with me, but everything but my expertise; I just see/hear when installers do not build or contain outdated files, or when tests fail, and hence try help preventing such problems (and the time and energy they require to be fixed in retrospect) by trying to prevent/detect them as early as possible using my humble expertise. Any alternative solution is more than welcome but (currently?) exceed my expertise.
