which is one of the reasons I don't think crimson should be packaged with ant (and use of the ext dir should be universally banned). Crimson could be included in download but it would be better if user was forced to manually copy jars to correct location etc. >I suggest the current lcp.bat introduces a trap for the uninitiated, >and urge you to consider a solution to the empty classpath problem >for ant builds that does not have such a significant side-effect. Your fix does not alter the problem that the same library is included twice in classpath. It just makes the problem harder to track down. I have seen subtle bugs caused by things like this and thus can't see how it is any better than current situation ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
