ANT: Verify Classpath

[Prabh]

Hello all,
How can I echo/print the CLASSPATH being used in my ANT tasks?
I want to verify if its proper and change it if incorrect.

I used a,

<echo> CLASSSPATH = "${classpath}" </echo>

It doesnt work, instead echoes out the literal string "${classpath}",
but somehow the target's working and does the compilation too, so I
know it is being set, I just cant seem to print it out.

Is there any other variable I should print out, I tried
${java.class.path}, but thats the System.property and I'm sure is
being changed within the task execution.

Thanks for your time,
Prab

Thanks for the response, Frederic.

I tried, <echo message = "CLASSPATH = ${classpath}" />
It still prints out,
[echo] CLASSPATH = ${classpath}

The literal "${classpath}".

Thanks,

It still prints out,
[echo] CLASSPATH = ${classpath}

The literal "${classpath}".

<echo message="${java.class.path}"/>

or better still, execute ant with the verbose option:

ant -v

Then the classpath parameter is probable not defined.

Then the classpath parameter is probable not defined.

I assume you are confusing the java.class.path system property with the
"classpath parameter" ?

ANT Verify classpath

This can be done in this way

<!-- Sets up the classpath -->
<path id="main.classpath">
<pathelement location="${src}"/>
</path>

<!-- Display the classpath -->
<target name="printclspath">
<property name="myclasspath" refid="main.classpath"/>
<echo message="classpath= ${myclasspath}"/>
</target>
