On page 80 of Erik Hatcher & Steve Loughran's "Java Development with
Ant" is given a technique for "Obtaining a string representation of a
path".
Following this technique, using a version of ant built a few months ago
(>1.5.1), I find this technique not to work.
<property name="global.class.path" refid="globallibs"/>
<echo message="global.class.path=${global.class.path}"/>
produces this output:
global.class.path=org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet@6e22f7
Not exactly what I was looking for. I should mention that this path is
created in a different buildfile, and passed to the one containing this
code via the inheritrefs mechanism.
Has anyone previously encountered this? Is it a known bug?
