----------------------------------------------------------

So I was thinking about providing an updated patch, and would like to make sure it does what it should based on this discussion.  How does this sound:

Ivy standalone supports:

{noformat}
   <!-- complex path, system default separator is used when no 
          pathsep is provided -->
   <classpath path="path/p1.jar:path/p2.jar"/>

   <!-- complex path, with an alternate path separator -->
   <classpath path="p1.jar~p2.jar~http://url/also/ok.jar" pathsep="~"/>
{noformat}

Ivy + Ant supports:

{noformat}
   <!-- refid loads a named path when Ivy is embedded -->
   <classpath refid="some.path.id"/>

   <!-- complex path supports any path that Ant does.  
      I can't decide if this is a good idea or not.  Comments? 
   -->
   <classpath path="p1.jar;p2.jar:p3.jar"/>

   <!-- complex path with pathsep behaves exactly the same as standalone -->
   <classpath path="p1.jar~p2.jar" pathsep="~"/>
{noformat}

> Eric:
> The ivyconf.xml classpath tag accepts file or url elements which seem capable of pointing to only a single classpath element, either a path or a jar. Can a full classpath be expressed?
> For instance, I would like to set an ant property called my.classpath and have it contain something like "a.jar:b.jar:c.jar". I'd like to use that property in my ivyconf.xml in a classpath element to set the classpath for resolver with complex dependencies
> Xavier:
> Sounds like a good idea, but this is not implemented yet. Open a jira issue.
