Hello,
This issue is that a path is not exposed as a property so you can't just
echo it or use it like a property. Internally, it's completely
different. In Ant 1.3alpha, the refid attribute has been added to the
<property> task so you can do this:
<!-- Copy path to a property of the same name -->
<property name="baseClasspath" refid="baseClasspath"/>
<echo message="baseClasspath: ${baseClasspath}"/>
If you want to do this in Ant 1.2 without using the -verbose switch, it
looks like you'll have to write your own task.
