I have just been attempting to use a path element from within a task. Ant
1.3 will not allow me to do this. The build.xml follows...
I want to declare the path element to use as my classpath. I use to do
this out side of a task. But for this project we have the "init" task,
and the classpath could depend on properties defined within that init.. so
I can't define the path element outside of the task..
ideas??
<project name="dbXML" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<property name="name" value="dbXML"/>
<property name="version" value="0.9"/>
<property name="year" value="2001"/>
<property name="distrib.name" value="${name}-${version}"/>
<property name="distrib.dir"
value="${distrib.build.dir}/${distrib.name}"/>
<property name="jarname" value="${name}"/>
<property name="root.dir" value="."/>
<property name="jar.dir" value="${root.dir}/lib"/>
<property name="src.dir" value="${root.dir}/src"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="${root.dir}/classes"/>
<property name="distrib.build.dir" value=".."/>
<path id="project.class.path">
<fileset dir="${jar.dir}">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
<pathelement location="${build.dir}" />
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}" />
</path>
</target>
<!-- ...... -->
</project>
