Copy jars mensioned in classpath

Hi,

my application is based on several other Java libraries. These are defined in an
external property file, e.g.

foo.jar.foo1=${foo.dir}/foo1.jar
foo.jar.foo2=${foo.dir}/foo2.jar
foo.path=${foo.jar.foo1}:${foo.jar.foo2}

bar.jar.bar=${bar.dir}/bar.jar
bar.path=${bar.jar.bar}

you got the pattern ...

In the build.xml I am now able to use this definitions like:


  <path id="classpath">
    <pathelement path="${foo.path}" />
    <pathelement path="${bar.path}" />
  </path>

  <target name="compile">
    <mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />
    <javac srcdir="${src.java}"
          destdir="${build.dir}"
        classpathref="classpath" >
    </javac>
  </target>


Works fine.

Now I want to copy the jars used in the classpath to a distribution directory,
but I did not find a solution using the copy-task to define a fileset based on
the definitions made above, since every definition could contain more than one
jar file separated by a colon. Is there any task or a fileset construct, that
enables me to get the jars from the involved classpath in a fileset?
Regards,
J?rg
