You're running into the illusion that the * is resolved by the operating system. It is resolved by the shell (cmd, command, csh, ...).
Does your script want to get a '*' as argument (Class*.class) and it does processing for its own? Then just use the Ant implementation you have. But if you need wildcard expansion (ClassOne.class ClassTwo.class) you have to do that for you own in Ant: <fileset> <pathconvert> Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Martin M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Gesendet: Montag, 12.
