<manifestclasspath> can do that, indirectly. You're not saying why the re-parenting, but the only use-case I know of is having a in-manifest relative CP in a jar, which is the purpose of this task. You only get a string out of it though, which may not be what you need. Hard to say though given your post. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
