I guess I'm a little slow today, as this is still not clear to me. Let me put it differently: 1) I agree that if the user has a CLASSPATH set, we should not add all the JARs from any directory in the CLASSPATH. 2) When the user calls Ant with -lib dir1:dir2, all JARs in dir1 and dir2 are automatically added to Ant's classpath, exactly as it is now, i.e. full B.C. if implementing (1) means adding a -cp, that's great, but only if (2) remains available and retains its current behavior. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
