Question

I have a list of jars in an ant task like this..

  <path id="lib.path.id">
    <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
      <include name="jar/*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
  </path>

I want to unroll this into a config file like this..

wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/activation.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.2=../lib/bcel.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.3=../lib/c3p0-0.8.4.5.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.4=../lib/cglib-full-2.0.2.jar
....

How can I do this in ant?

As explained in my comment, if you are using Tanuki Service Wrapper for Java, you are not forced to list all your jar in the wrapper.conf, you can simply indicate a path that contains all your JAR files:

wrapper.java.classpath.1=/path/to/lib/*.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.2=/any/other/lib/directory/*.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.3=/a/path/to/one/library/my-library.jar
