<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="${local.dir}/lib" includes="${local.compile.libs}" />
<fileset dir="${repository.dir}" includes="${repository.compile.libs}" />
</path>
with maybe changing your separator to the one 'includes' uses (space
and/or comma I think. I'm unsure it will accept semi-colon or colon).
This is slightly different from what you were doing, because it
requires the files dirs and files to exist before-hand, whereas
<pathelement path> does not.
See also the 'includesfile' attribute of <fileset> (and <patternset>). --DD

I want to read some relative path elements from the contents of a properties
file, and then create custom absolute paths from these elements by using a
different directory then the base directory(which is what ANT wants to add).
For example, if we had a properties file with:
local.compile.libs=mylib1.jar;mylib2.jar
repository.compile.libs=bos-utils.jar;junit.jar
I'd want to generate the equivalent to:
<path id="compile.classpath">
<pathelement location="${local.dir}/lib/mylib1.jar" />
<pathelement location="${local.dir}/lib/mylib2.jar" />
<pathelement location="${repository.dir}/bos-utils.jar" />
<pathelement location="${repository.dir}/junit.jar" />
</path>
where I prepend '${local.dir}/lib' and '${repository.dir}' to each path
element read.
Something that is close to doing the right thing is:
<path id="compile.classpath">
<pathelement path="${local.compile.libs}" />
<pathelement path="${repository.compile.libs}" />
</path>
but the problem is that ANT will make these absolute paths
based on base directory, which isn't what is desired.
Is there some simple way to do this? Do I have to write a custom task?
