Description claudio4j 2005-10-03 03:51:12 UTC 
[ BUILD # : beta 1 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6 ]

tested with JDK 5_05

1) create a new general java project
2) edit build.xml
3) create a custom task, like:
<target name="jaaava">
 <echo>javac.classpath = ${javac.classpath}</echo>
</target>
4) Right click, Run target, other targets, jaaava
5) it prints
javac.classpath = ${javac.classpath}

  It is supposed to javac.classpath be printed like example below, right ?

  if the target name is change to -post-jar, for example the javac.classpath prints correctly (the swinglayout need to be put under library)
Comment 1 Geertjan Wielenga 2005-10-03 10:11:28 UTC 
You need to import the property file if you want to use its properties.

Add this to the build.xml, for example, put it below <import
file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>:

<property file ="nbproject/project.properties"/>
Comment 2 Geertjan Wielenga 2005-10-03 10:14:25 UTC 
Importing the property file explicitly like this is not needed for -post-jar
because -post-jar is called from build-impl.xml (automatically, after the dist).
