Global path w/ refid and property file

Hello!

I have something like:

<project ...>

	<path id = "project.classpath">
		<pathelement path = "${binDestDir}/"/>
		<pathelement location = "${junitLib}"/>
	</path>
																							
	<target name = "Build something">
		<property file = "build.properties"/>
		<antcall target = "Echo properties"/>
		<javac ...>
			<classpath refid = "project.classpath"/>
		</javac>
	</target>

	<target name = "Echo properties">
		<property name = "projectClasspath" refid = "project.classpath"/>
		<echo>
			${projectClasspath}
		</echo>
	</target>

</project>

   The `Echo properties' task echoes the classpath with all jars and paths as specified (as one string with separators), with locations taken from build.properties and expanded afterwards, but the javac tasks says

dropping ${binDestDir} from path as it doesn't exist
dropping ${junitLib} from path as it doesn't exist

which looks like something went wrong with the expansion (only my guess).

   Any hints, anybody?

	 Thanks for your consideration,

	 Christian

Hi list, hi Peter,

Thanks, that unveils the mystery.

You should place the <property file="build.properties">
before the <path id="/>

The reason the echo properties worked is that the
a new project was created by <antcall> and in this
project <path id ="/> got called again, but this
time the properties had been set.
