"classpath" attribute in the "javac" task
Hi everyone,
I am new to Ant and I would like to ask you for help.
I was reading in the Ant's manual when I encountered this example:
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build}"
classpath="xyz.jar"
debug="on"/>
This task compiles all .java files under the ${src} directory, and stores the .class files in the ${build} directory. The classpath used includes xyz.jar, and compiling with debug information is on.
My question is: Why do I need to point to a .jar file using the classpath, when I have all my sources in the ${src} directory and after the compilation I'll get all the classes in the ${build} directory?
I'd appreciate your help.
Regards,
Samar Hossam

Hi
The "classpath" attribute is helpful when you use external jars.
For example, you write an application that relies on some classes provided by "foo.jar".
That "foo.jar" must be in the classpath in order for the java compiler to see and use the jar's classes.

Hi,
It is something like typing
SET CLASSPATH=D:\abcd\ant-1.5\lib\Tidy.jar;
in the command prompt and then running javac to get
the class file.
bye,
with regards,
Deepak.
