Help needed
Can someone explain, in layman's words, what "<home/>" and "<work/>" is for ?
I have read the docs over and over, and it doesn't give me a clue... :o(
Maybe I am "Too dump for Gump"...
Cheers
Niclas

See answer to Q 2.

nested means relative to the srcdir of your project. The srcdir is
the root of the checked out CVS/SVN module.
parent means relative to the value given in the basedir attribute of
the workspace definition of this Gump instance. Usually, one level
higher than the srcdir, but it doesn't have to be.
I'm not aware of any descriptors using the parent attribute.

Thanks for the explaination.
Q 1; what is <work> relative?
Q 2; what does nested vs parent mean?
Cheers

<home/> doesn't do anything. Well, almost. It serves as a prefix for
the paths you use in <jar/> and it sets the reference point for
projects using <property reference="home"/>.
<work/> adds things to the CLASSPATH before Ant is started. Use this
if you need classes that are just going to be compiled in the same
run. For example if you create an Ant task that you want to execute
or if you compile tests which will need the main classes to compile.
<work/> can point to a directory or a jar, to everything that is
leagal in a CLASSPATH env variable. Making it point to a jar is
considered cheating, though. 8-)
If you need a directory pointed to with <work/> for anything other
than a forked <junit/> or a forked <java/>, pair it with a
corresponding <mkdir/>. The JVM is going to drop it from the
CLASSPATH if the directory doesn't exist, making the entry unavailable
to the VM running Ant.
