Long Property Values

[Jason Sando <js...@think1up.com>]

Is there any way to break up a long <property> tag?  My "classpath" property
ends up wrapping or going off the screen:

    <property name="classpath"
value="${java.home}/lib/rt.jar:../lib/xml.jar:../lib/jsdk.jar:../lib/javalib
.jar:../lib/binkco.jar:../lib/ecs-1.2.jar:../lib/ifxjdbc.jar:../lib/junit.ja
r" />

Thanks,

It seems obvious now but it just didn't occur to me.

Thanks!

I am doing what I use to do in shell scripts, and I sort of have nothing
against it, but it could be done nicer, I reckon. There is heaps of
repeating, but it is pretty readable:


<property name="classpath" value="${java.home}/lib/rt.jar" />

<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/xml.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/jsdk.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/javalib.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/binkco.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/ecs-1.2.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/ifxjdbc.jar" />
<property name="classpath" value="${classpath}:../lib/junit.jar" />
