           Summary: Java Target Needs Improved bootclasspath options
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: u912boilermaker@yahoo.com
                CC: u912boilermaker@yahoo.com


I want to do a -Xbootclasspath/p:


However as of ANT 1.6.2, the source code is "Hard-Coded" as follows:
Starting at Line 361 of package org.apache.tools.ant.types.CommandlineJava.java

if (haveBootclasspath(true)) {
   listIterator.add("-Xbootclasspath:" + bootclasspath.toString());
}


I would like to be able to pass in a "prepend" (i.e. "/p:") apend (i.e. "/a:") 
or nothing (i.e. ":")
You could call it bootclasspathPendingType.

Also, I am not sure if it is legal in java, but if it is legal to do both 
prepend and apend the bootclasspath, then we should do both.  I am willing
to test this once you have a fix ready!

Thanks
Bryce
