Thanks for that Stefan, although I appear to be doing something wrong still. One thing
I find confusing about particularly the <javac> task is that legal values for the
attributes aren't listed in the manual. You mention set includejavaruntime to false,
but the docs indicate that the value shd be "no". For other options it's either
yes/no, on/off or true/false, and I don't know how to be told whether i have an option
wrong.
Anyway does this seem correct? It's not working... I've tried putting the tools.jar on
both cp and bcp, also tried forking on and off.
