Supplying classpath inside a goal

[Ja...@barclayscapital.com]

Apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn't see the answer in
the mail archives

If in my maven.xml I have some sort of goal that needs to do this:

<goal name="foo">
	<java fork="true" classname="com.foo.bar"
classpath="XXX/lib-a-1.0.jar;XXX/lib-b-1.0.jar;...">
		<arg line="-W -p com.xxx "/>
	</java>
</goal>

Now that list of jars in the classpath looks like a prime candidate for
referencing via the repository and some sort of dependency declarations in
the POM.  But I can't figure out what to use.  I tried
${maven.dependency.classpath} which seemed a likely choice, but that doesn't
seem right - if I echo out the value of that it's blank.  So either I'm
using the wrong property or I've not set up the dependencies quite right

Can somebody enlighten me?

thanks in advance

James

Take a look at the jelly code for the Test plugin. It builds up a 
classpath that includes

<path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>

among others.
