Question

I just found the build-in classpath property of ant, namely, java.class.path, is different from my CLASSPATH that I set in .bashrc.

Would you like to tell me how ANT sets its java.class.path? In which case should we use it over CLASSPATH?

Thanks for your ideas.

Answer 1

ANT has its own CLASSPATHproperty , you want to use it if you want to build your project using ANT

like this

<property name="classpath" value="${lib}/antlr-2.7.6.jar;${lib}/calculate.jar;${lib}/cglib-2.2.jar;${lib}/commons-beanutils-1.8.2.jar;${lib}/commons-collections-3.1.jar;${lib}/commons-collections-3.2.1.jar;${lib}/commons-digester-1.7.jar;${lib}/commons-logging-1.1.jar;${lib}/dom4j-1.6.1.jar;${lib}/groovy-all-1.5.5.jar;${lib}/hibernate3.jar;${lib}/iText-2.1.7.jar;${lib}/iTextAsian.jar;${lib}/jasper_chart1.1.0.jar;${lib}/jasperreports-3.7.2.jar;${lib}/javassist-3.9.0.GA.jar;${lib}/jta-1.1.jar;${lib}/log4j.jar;${lib}/mySecurityPackage.jar;${lib}/poi-3.5-FINAL-20090928.jar;${lib}/ReportsEngine.jar;${lib}/slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar;${lib}/slf4j-log4j12.jar;${lib}/sqlitejdbc-v056.jar" />


else use your OS CLASSPATH when you build your project using COMMAND LINE
