Hi Antoine, Thank you for the tips. For your second case, what happen if a parent class is located in a jar file, would that be possible for this "available" task to check the child class ?
What I have found is for such scenario, of the same classpath setting, if I was to check the availability of the parent class, it would load the parent class from the jar file, and set my "present" property to be true. But if I was to check the availability of the child class, it gives me errors as " Could not load dependent class ... , Unable to load child class to set property ..."? I have a feeling once it finds the child class, it never check the other files for the parent class. -cji -----Original Message----- From: Antoine Levy-Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 5:49 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Ant "available" task Importance: Low Hello Chun, a class cannot be loaded if : - the class itself is not in the classpath, - a parent class or interface of the class is not in the classpath, - a field of the class is not in the classpath, so have a look at the source code of the class which cannot be loaded, Regards, Antoine Chun Ji wrote: > Hi all, > does "Available" only works for some selected packages only ? > I want to set a property depends on the availablity of a class.
