path structures in different build files

[Nathan Coast <na...@levelseas.com>]

Hi,

I have a path structure that I have defined in one build file, this build
file then calls a second build file.  If I try to refer to the path
structure I defined in the first file from the second file I get an error:

Reference webapp.classpath not found.

file 1 contains:

            <path id="webapp.classpath">
                <pathelement location="${struts.jar}"/>
            </path>

which calls file 2 which contains:

<path id="compile.classpath">
  <path refid="webapp.classpath"/>
  <pathelement location="${libs}"/>
  <pathelement location="${build.dir}/../lib/weblogic.jar"/>
  <pathelement location="${build.dir}/../lib/log4j.jar"/>
  <pathelement location="${build.dir}/../lib/junit.jar"/>
  <pathelement location="${build.dir}/../lib/xalan.jar"/>
  <pathelement location="${build.dir}/../lib/xerces.jar"/>
</path>

should path structures be maintained between build files?

Thanks
Nathan

Currently the <ant> task only transfers across build listeners, task
definitions, data type definitions, and properties.  References are not
carried over.

It seems like a good enhancement request, although how that works and
maintain backwards compatibility is the main issue to address.
