but i don't want to have to hunt up where the jre is, or require folks using my task to do so either. i want to be able to pass on the classpath that the task is using if i can really. > > is there a way to get the classpath that is in my task and pass > > that on to the Java task (along with that the user specified), > > and/or is that even a good idea? > > How exactly is your <taskdef set up? > i am testing with something a la <target name="oofa"> <taskdef name="loofa" classname="org.foo.Loofa" classpathref="some.classpath"> .... the classpathref basically points to a bunch of support jars the ultimate java class needs (e.g. antlr.jar) but not rt.jar (who ever needs to add rt.jar to their classpath?) thanks. john --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
