This will cause the annoying Overriding previous definition of reference to classpath.additional message.
There is a bug report requesting the reduction of this message to verbose, perhaps this would be a good thing to do!

Other than properties paths will be muted. Therefore the build.xml imports the additional classpath and overrides it after it (with properties you have to import after prop-settings). The "classpath.additional" has to defined in the common.xml because its references there.
In your tasks you only refer to "classpath".

Is there a way to reuse path definitions when using <import>, in a way similar to what you can do with targets?
I've a standard path defined in a common build file, which is good for almost all my projects.
When I need to change it I'm forced to redefine it completely, even when it would be better to extend it.
Example:
common-build.xml:
<path id="project.classpath"> <pathelement location="${build.classes}"/> <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar,*.zip"/> </path>
build.xml:
<import file="common-build.xml"/>
<path id="project.classpath"> <pathelement location="${build.classes}"/> <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar,*.zip"/> <pathelement location="some.dir/some.file"/> <!-- .... --> </path>
Is there a way to reuse the path elements specified in the common build file?
