actually, that is not what I am having trouble with. My properties come from an outside properties file where someone has defined ${lib}= SRC/LIB I am on windows though and I use <map from="${basedir}${fileseparator}${lib}${fileseparator}" to=""/> Notice that the from equates to "d:\something\something\SRC/LIB\" so I never get a match because the jar files will be "d:\something\something\SRC\LIB" becuase I am on windows. I am not sure how to get around this without moving the property to the XML file itself which I don't really want to do. I think I am stuck with an unclean solution here of moving my property to the XML file unless someone else has any ideas. Is there some kind of task to modify all the file separators in a property to the current os file separator? thanks for your help Dominique, Dean
