Hi Bill, Typically one will set the bootclasspath via the extended jvm argument -Xbootclasspath (see java tool documentation)
If you run ant via the the shell script you have to set jvm arguments via the environment variable ANT_OPTS See http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html -> Running Ant -> Environment Variables Cheers Rainer > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Winspur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 4:34 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Using the bootclasspath > > > I'm trying to link a diagnostic classloader into the java task, but > having set up the bootclasspath element, > by prepending my diagnostics jar path to the default contents of > sun.boot.class.path, and having forked > the jvm, I get the message > > bootclasspath ignored since build.sysclasspath has been set. > > I have been unable to discover what this message means.
