Michael, Java.class.path allways shows the System classpath (i.e. typically the one you define via $CLASSPATH plus ant/lib). If you define a classpath in a <taskdef/>, a "special" classloader is created for your task. In "normal" situations this should work as expected. An ant-speciality: If an classpath entry does not exist at the moment you define it, it will (silently) removed from the classpath. Cheers Rainer
