Thanks for your quick response.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're suggesting.  I have a couple of
directories with many jar files in them - the generic classpath
(classpath.path) includes all jar files in the ${distDir} and
${productionLibDir} directories using a **/*.jar.  For each target in my
buildfile, however, I want to be able to exclude a *different* jar file.
So, the expanded version of what I sent previously would be something like:

<path id="classpath.path">
      <pathelement path="${basedir}"/>
      <pathelement path="${classesDir}"/>
      <fileset dir="${distDir}">
          <include name="**/*.jar"/>
          <include name="**/*.zip"/>
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${libDir}">
          <include name="**/*.jar"/>
          <include name="**/*.zip"/>
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}">
          <include name="**/*.jar"/>
          <include name="**/*.zip"/>
      </fileset>
  </path>
  <path id="classpath.data.path">
      <fileset dir="${distDir}" >
         <exclude name="${data_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}" >
         <exclude name="${data_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <path refid="classpath.path"/>
  </path>
  <path id="classpath.util.path">
      <fileset dir="${distDir}" >
         <exclude name="${util_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}" >
         <exclude name="${util_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <path refid="classpath.path"/>
  </path>
  <path id="classpath.service.path">
      <fileset dir="${distDir}" >
         <exclude name="${service_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}" >
         <exclude name="${service_jarName}" />
      </fileset>
      <path refid="classpath.path"/>
  </path>

Does that make sense?   Am I missing something?

And you can build compound <path>s:

<path id="path-without-the-jar">
 ...
</path>

<path id="with-the-jar">
  <path refid="path-without-the-jar" />
  <fileset ...>
</path>

and use the first path whenever you want to exclude the extra jar and
the second one where you need it.
