Re: Using available's property setting ability inside a condition, isit possible?

[Martin <mg...@hotmail.com>]

On a related note
How does one extend the classpath in java task
I set classpath as such
<java classpath="./lib/newjar.jar;${classpath}" ....
but I find this classpath specification does not work
I find that adding a property into global classpath works
Am I implementing classpath in java correctly?
Thank You,
Martin
