------- Additional Comments From antoine@apache.org 2005-01-07 10:00 -------
The ant way is that files are resolved relative to project directory.
The class implementing the java task has a setter setJar(File jarfile) ...
The Exec task is working differently : the executable attribute (which is a bit
the equivalent of the jar attribute here) is a String instead of a file, so it
does not get resolved automatically against base directory.
Another attribute called resolveExecutable allows to resolve the executable
optionally against the base directory.
Now for BC reasons, and to avoid cluttering complex code, I do not think anyone
among the committers would like to meet your requirement, which is difficult any
way because the introspection does automatically the job of resolving the jar to
a path based on the project directory, unless an absolute path is written in the
build file.
