Hello Laurie,
there are certainly several ways of achieving this, but not in pure ant
(as far as I know)
one of the ways is to generate your path on the file, using a stylesheet,
you could have a main ant build file which would get the
-Dprojects="subproj1, subproj2"
parameter, and pass it to a stylesheet which would generate an xml build file.
Then you could invoke a target of this xml build file from the main build file.
The other solution is that you implement in java a custom path type which would
do what you want.
A third solution would be to add dynamically path elements to a path using
scripting.
In the ant docu, you will see that it is possible to create tasks (types ?)
which are implemented with a script fragment written in the build file.
Look at <script/>, <scriptdef/>, ... You have the choice of groovy, Rhino
JavaScript, Ruby, ...
Cheers,
Antoine
