I have several external jars that are located relative to a directory
specified by an environment variable $MYPROJECT. I need to
construct a classpath within my build.xml so that javac can compile
my project. It seemed pretty straightforward but I can't seem to get
it to work. What's the best way to do this?
Here's my compile target:
<target name="compile" description="Compile code">
<mkdir dir="${bin}"/>
<mkdir dir="${lib}"/>
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${bin}"
source="1.5" target="1.5"
includeAntRuntime="no"
classpath="${myclasspath}"
debug="${compile.debug}">
</javac>
</target>
One thing I discovered is that a "property" value does not evaluate/
expand other environmental variables. It expects a constant.
e.g.
<property name="myclasspath" value=".:${env. MYPROJECT}/endorsed/
xercesImpl.jar:${env. MYPROJECT}/endorsed/jdom.jar"/>
I also tried :
<path id="myclasspath">
<pathelement path=".:${env. MYPROJECT}/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar:$
{env. MYPROJECT}/endorsed/jdom.jar"/>
</path>
and then used classpathref="myclasspath" in the javac task but that
didn't work either.
What am I missing?
