They need to be added to the classpath for each phase. Read the bat files for invocation magic. The product is some sort of experimentat prototype, and lacks any semblance of support, and may not be the full Generics that turns up in 1.5. It's probably not much use unless you are planning to intercept 1.5 and go production under that environment. Or you just want to play around and see if Generics does any good.
