Just do it the right ANT way, by using relative directories, <path>, and
convert it to a property (at least IMHO):
1) Assuming your build file is in C:\project\
<project name="whatever" basedir=".">
<path id="test-path-id">
<pathelement location="src1" />
<pathelement location="src2" />
</path>
<property name="test.path"
refid="test-path-id" />
</project>
The location attribute of <pathelement> is relative to basedir of <project>
when the specified path in not absolute.
2) If your two directories are unrelated to your projects (then why would
you path src/ dirs in the path!?!?!?), then is should be
<path id="test-path-id">
<pathelement path="C:/project/src1" /> <!-- path or location? -->
<pathelement path="C:/project/src2" /> <!-- Diane? Stefan? -->
</path>
<property name="test.path"
refid="test-path-id" />
In case ANT gets confused by the C:, thinking the colon is a path separator
(which I don't think it should), you can still omit it entirely, and use
<pathconvert> to put it back, use /C_colon and replace to C:...
3) Finally, maybe the only answer you wanted:
<property name="test.path"
value="C:/project/src1;C:/project/src2" />
PS: Always use forward slashes in ANT, as back slash is the XML escape
character, and ANT takes care of converting it correctly for the current
platform, and <pathconvert> converts it to a different target platform if
needed!

Subject: How do I specify multiple Windows directories in one <property
name> statement?
Hi Folks
How do I write the line below for Windows
<property name="test.path" value="/home/project/src1:/home/project/src2"/>
this time
SRC1_DIR=C:\project\src1
SRC2_DIR=C:\project\src2
If I write
<property name="test.path" value="C:\project\src1:C:\project\src2"/>
then this is clearly wrong since Windows uses ":" in its paths names. So
can someone please tell me how I write this in Widows.
Cheers
Tony
