You can't set the "global" classpath in Ant in this way. You must explicitly
say what classpath you want to use for each particular task that supports a
classpath, such as <javac>, <java> etc.
i.e
<path id="foo">
...
</path>
<path id="bar">
...
</path>
<javac ...>
<classpath refid="foo"/>
</javac>
<java ...>
<classpath refid="boo"/>
</java>
There is no <classpath> element at the top level - only nested within other
tasks.
