http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18742 ANT does not support full cross-referencing of path structures. Summary: ANT does not support full cross-referencing of path structures. Product: Ant Version: 1.1 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ANT's documentation hints that path-like structures are usable across task. The current version of ant supports classpath use across task with id="" and refid="" attributes. Programmers need more than classpath sharing. There should be better (complete) support for path-like structure cross-referencing. To illustrate this, try to build an ANT script with multiple javac tasks (more than one). Try to make the tasks share source file lists. I don't think you can do it with the current version. This shortcoming reflects on all other ant tasks and creates some confusion. The Jalopy (Jaloy from www.sourceforge.net) task plug-in is an example of an Ant task that has poor path structure referencing. I will notify the Jalopy people. Regards, Colbert Philippe
