Ken,
This should not be necessary. Besides making it difficult to read your
classpaths, the code in the Javac task for setting the classpath is
/**
* Set the classpath to be used for this compilation.
*/
public void setClasspath(String classpath) {
compileClasspath = project.translatePath(classpath);
}
which means the classpath is translated from either Windows or Unix style
classpaths to a platform specific classpath. All of my classpaths use : and
/ but my build.xml file works under both Windows and Unix without change.
If its not working for you (or Lars), then it is a bug which we should
investigate. I can't reproduce it since my version of translatePath is
currently out of sync with CVS.
Cheers
Conor
