The bootstrap scripts compile the classes twice, the first step uses command line javac and classes compiled by this steps will be removed after the process. This step won't compile the JUnit task and support classes BTW. The second step is "the next call to build" - an invocation of Ant on its own codebase, this one does not (well, didn't 8-) clean up the classes directory and I'm not that sure that it should - passing build.sysclasspath into this Ant invocation would give you the result you need. > I'll take a look into using ANT_OPTS, but I may choose to add > support for $* (sh) or %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 (bat) instead. I'd prefer the later. Stefan
