I'm wondering what's the difference between <path> and <classpath>. Why are there these two construct? Aren't they functionally identical?
This is not about the environment variables, but about the Ant constructs. The question has been asked here, but not really answered: difference between path,pathelemnt,classpath and fileset tags http://marc.info/?l=ant-dev&m=124419759524145&w=2 And also here: path classpath http://ant.1045680.n5.nabble.com/path-classpath-td1353146.html This time, the answer is: "There is no difference in type." If this is so, it wouldn't hurt to state that in the manual. Looks like there is no dedicated reference page for these constructs, but examples for <path> and <classpath> are given here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path Is it correct to say that the whole <path>/<classpath> thing can be explained historically by reference to the <javac> task? Which sports @classpath, @sourcepath, @bootclasspath and @extdirs, all <path> types? http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html So are <path> and <classpath> interchangeable? -- Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
