Well, I'm not an Ant committer. I just tried what you said, found you were correct, and offered a change to the Ant community. You and I both could have overlooked some issue in this case! :-) Let's see what happens. > How about "resource" case? That works okay. For example, I have my SoftWoehr class library source tree residing under /usr/local/work/SoftWoehr/ ... Here is a modified test case like before: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <project name="test-whichresource" default="dotest"> <target name="dotest"> <whichresource property="testresult" class="org.apache.tools.ant.Main"/> <echo message="${testresult}"/> <whichresource property="testresult.bis" resource="com/SoftWoehr/images/meu.jpg" classpath="/usr/local/work/SoftWoehr"/> <echo message="${testresult.bis}"/> </target> </project> The output is as follows: dotest: [echo] jar:file:/usr/local/ant/lib/ant.jar!/org/apache/tools/ant/Main.class [echo] file:/usr/local/work/SoftWoehr/com/SoftWoehr/images/meu.jpg Resource loading *does* work that way with a leading slash in the path. I guess that's what confused the issue about class loading. -- Jack J.
