Dominique,
thanks for the response. i'll give this a try. it looks almost too easy. :)
thanks again,
andy
for completeness i'll respond to my post and list my current solution...
<target name="eclipse" depends="init">
<path id="eclipse.classpath">
<fileset dir="${seed.lib.dir}"
includesfile="${ant.project.name}.dependencies" />
</path>
<pathconvert property="eclipse.entries" refid="eclipse.classpath"
targetos="windows"/>
<ant antfile="${cns.script.root}/eclipse.xml" inheritAll="true" />
</target>
so i set up the path using the fileset as Dominique had suggested
(thank you), but to get the paths written out properly i needed to use
the pathconvert task. i then call my eclipse.xml task based on a
script put together by Stefanie Tellex
(http://people.csail.mit.edu/stefie10/antAndEclipse.html) to create a
.classpath:
<project name="eclipse" default=".classpath">
<target name=".classpath">
<echoxml file=".classpath">
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="${src.dir}"/>
<classpathentry kind="con"
path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="${eclipse.entries}"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="${build.dir}"/>
</classpath>
</echoxml>
<replace file=".classpath" token="!--" value=""/>
<replace file=".classpath" token="--" value=""/>
</target>
</project>
this outputs a .classpath file that can then be used by an eclipse project.
hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
