What I am trying to do is have the user specify in an external properties file any jar files needed in the compilation process. Since a folder may contain several jar files, I thought it would be simpler to have the user just specify the folder that jar file is in. The user can specify several folders in the property in this format:
classpath.jar.include=lib;lib\ext;lib\config However, if I just include that string in a path like: <path id="user.jar.include" path="${classpath.jar.include}" /> then the jar files are not found. So what I wanted to do was convert this path into a fileset, which would include the jar files. However, I am unable to get the pathtoconvert task to work properly for some reason. When I am debugging the script, it seems that the fileset that is made from the pathtoconvert task is empty. If the classpath.jar.include property is set to C:\a\b\c\d\lib;C:\a\b\c\d\lib\ext (for example), would the following pathtofileset task be correct? <path id="user.jar.include" path="${classpath.jar.include}" /> <pathtofileset name="fileset.jar.include" pathrefid="user.jar.include" dir="C:\a\b\c\d"/> I am also assuming that the fileset.jar.include value set for the name attribute is now the refid for that fileset. Would I use that handle in a similar fashion to this? <path id="project.class.path"> <fileset refid="fileset.jar.include" /> </path> What am I doing wrong? Am I even on the right track? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Converting-path-to-fileset-issue.-tf4738646.html#a13551372 Sent from the Ant - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
