I was hoping to avoid introducing additional requirements, such as antcontrib
or Ivy.<p/>The list is a merge of two files, one global property list of
libs that have names that dereference to a list of jars (produced and
managed by an external program); and one local -- just part of that name.
These artifacts are introduced in ant as
<loadfile><filterchain><expandproperties/>...<p/>
Then processed by <pathconvert><path><existing/>...<p/>
Thus, the list would have pathsep, not comma; but maybe that doesn't
matter.<p/>

Yes, sort of; a library property is a list of jars, a library-list names
those properties by name; and is passed to classpath after expansion to the
actual jars, and relative names expanded. If the expansion fails, then the
origin list named an undeclared property, and the name-form (${name}) is
passed to classpath, indicating failure. Now, I want ant to fail when
failure is indicated.<p/>
Isn't there something in ant core that will help?<p/>
A loop isn't actually required, and for lack of a better solution pattern
matching the whole text is also possible.
<code>
<fail message="missing library ${missing.library}">
<condition>
<matches pattern="libs\.(.+)\.classpath"
string="${libs.list.classpath}"/>
</condition>
</fail>
</code>
Will give me the full stop I desire, but how can I set the property
${missing.library} to the value of the capture at (.+)?
