so you have this nice path and target
<!-- this file will list out all of the various classpaths for .jars and
.class -->
<path id="baseClasspath">
<pathelement path="${classpath}" />
<pathelement location="\dev\ms\classes\" />
<!-- this will include ALL of the .jar files in the lib dir -->
<fileset dir="\dev\ms\lib">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<!-- this will include ALL of the .jar files in the deploy dir -->
<fileset dir="\dev\ms\deploy">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<!-- this will include ALL of the .dar files in the deploy dir -->
<fileset dir="\dev\ms\deploy">
<include name="**/*.dar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${classes} -->
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${classes}" classpathref="baseClasspath">
<exclude name="**/*?emplate*" />
</javac>
</target>
it works. but one is just not satisfied now are they!
how do you:
0) echo out the classpath?
1) "turn on" echoing so that all of the ant commands are echoed to the
system.out (ie i want to see the LONG lucious spam of the javac -classpath
<lots of stuff>
2) echo out any variable? <echo message = "$(foo)" /> always seems to
just echo out the (foo) and not the actual variable (I am probably doing
something incorrect but I have no idea what)
thanks in advance
