Ant Java Classpath

[vnssoftware]

Hi,
In build.xml for Ant:
The directory structure that comes from our Application Installer has
jars in several different directories. Can I set CLASSPATH using ; or
, in the Same Tag. Or do I have to use Seperate Tags for each new jar
location directory. I don't want to put all jars in one directory.
That will be a lot of work each time I install a new build.

Thank you!

Here's one way to do it:

<path id="project.classpath">
<pathelement location="${lib}\optional.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib}\struts.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat}\common\lib\servlet.jar" />
</path>

<target name="compile" depends="init,copy-props">
<javac srcdir="${srcdir}\share" destdir="${destdir}" deprecation="on"
debug="on">
<classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>

Can
<pathelement location="${lib}\optional.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib}\struts.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat}\common\lib\servlet.jar" />
be replaced by something like this-

<pathelement location="${lib}\optional.jar,${tomcat}\common\lib\servlet.jar,{someotherdir}\struts.jar"/>

Thanks!

Go try it and see if it works, or else read the documentation:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path

The answer to your question is yes, something LIKE that will work.

Thanks.
If I want to compile just two java files in two different package
directory, how would the javac task look like in the ant script. Can I
do:
c:\...path to dir1\1.java;c:\...path to dir2\2.java

Go read the manual: http://ant.apache.org/manual/

The docs for the 'javac' task give an example of EXACTLY what you're asking:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html

Bonsoir,
Sous win 98,95, ME
ouvrir la fenetre DOS et taper ECHO si ECHO est actif ouvrir
Open bloc note et open autoexec.bak
pour que le SDK fonctionne inclure la commande SET CLASSPATH le fichier
contenant la bibliotheque java.tools.jar
exemple si le fichier tools.jar se trouve dans le dossier C:\javajdk\lib vous
devez ajouter la ligne suivante: SETCLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;\javajdk\lib\tools.
