What about this little variation? <patternset id="allJarsAndZips"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> <include name="**/*.zip"/> </patternset>
<path id="base.classpath.path"> <pathelement path="${basedir}"/> <pathelement path="${classesDir}"/> <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}"> <patternset refid="allJarsAndZips"/> </fileset> </path> <patternset id="allJarsAndZipsMinus"> <patternset refid="allJarsAndZips" /> <exclude name="${data_jarName}" /> </patternset> <path id="classpath.data.path"> <fileset dir="${distDir}" > <patternset refid="allJarsAndZipsMinus" /> </fileset> <fileset dir="${productionLibDir}" > <patternset refid="allJarsAndZipsMinus" /> </fileset> <path refid="base.classpath.path"/> </path> <path id="classpath.path"> <fileset dir="${distDir}"> <patternset refid="allJarsAndZips"/> </fileset> <fileset dir="${libDir}"> <patternset refid="allJarsAndZips"/> </fileset> <path refid="base.classpath.path"/> </path> I believe this results in more 'reuse', although it doesn't look any simpler... --DD -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bodewig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 8:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: is there any way to modify a classpath that referenced with r efid ?

Ugly, but I cannot think of a better solution ATM.
