regarding path id
Hi,
Actually, I add the jar files in classpath using the following way.
<path id="sab.classpath">
<pathelement location="${resc}/mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${resc}/activation.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${resc}/imap.jar"/>
</path>
It looks bit tedious, since every jar file should be listed in the
pathelement tag. Instead of doing this, is there anyway to specify a
directory, containing all jar files?

This will not work.
The ** and * are for patterns - line includes="" and the <include> element.
The location attribute is a file name/path and not a pattern.

hi mani,
you can do this,
<pathelement location="${resc}/**/*.jar"/>
this will take care of all jars in that folder and subfolders....

use:
<path id="sab.classpath">
<fileset dir="${resc}" includes="*.jar"/>
</path>

You can use the <fileset> element to define a path:
<path id="sab.classpath">
<fileset dir="${resc}"/>
</path>
You can limit files inside the <fileset> directive too using <include>
and <exclude>:
<path id="sab.classpath">
<fileset dir="${resc}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
<include name="*.zip"/>
<exclude name="bad.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
The great advantage of this is that you can easily add new jars to
your classpath by simply adding jar files into that directory.
