Is there a way to echo an ant defined path?

[David Engel <di...@gwl.com>]

Anyone,
  Is there a way to echo a path which I have generated with Ant 1.3?
  I have create a path id of project.class.path and would like to see
  the path.  If I used echo message all I get is the text and not the
  path ( <echo message="Class Path ${project.class.path}" />)

Yes, transform it into a property first.

<property name="project.class.path" refid="project.class.path" />
<echo message="Class Path ${project.class.path}" />
