The following should work:
(Note that I missed out SYSTEM on my earlier post )
<project name="Test" default="compile" basedir=".">
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY stdPath SYSTEM "file:///L:/java/src/project.class.path" >
]>
<!-- set global properties for this build -->
<property name="src" value="."/>
<property name="build" value="L:/java/build"/>
&stdPath;
<target name="compile">
<!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into
${build} -->
<javac srcdir="${src}"
destdir="${build}"
debug="on"
classpathref="project.class.path">
<include name="*.java"/>
<exclude name="test/**"/>
</javac>
</target>
</project>
