Try using filesets (a great feature of ant) for your classpath. That
way you don't have to add every single file.
Would look something like this:
<!-- set up the classpath -->
<path id="project.class.path">
<fileset dir="C:/ABI/arrays/lib/">
<include name="**/*.jar,**/*.zip"/>
</fileset>
</path>
This will include all zip and jar files in the directory
C:/ABI/arrays/lib. Not sure if you are suppose to put a comma or a
space. Can't remember.
then use the following for your classpath tag
<classpath refid="project.class.path"/>
Hope this helps in cleaning up for classpath problems.

Subject: Classpath stored in a single position?
Hi,
in our project we do have a rather long classpath.
Currently I have this build.xml file in each package
folder. (see below) But the Classpath changes often,
so I have to change each build.xml file in each
folder.
Is it possible to extract the classpath into a single
position from where it is being picked up by the
build.xml file. That way I just have to change the
classpath only once.
TIA
Ralph
