Subject: How to echo path?
/*
I have a path that I'd like to output to the console.
For example:
<path id="my.path.id">
<pathelement location="${a.path}"/>
<pathelement location="${another.path}"/>
</path>
If I do this:
<echo message="${my.path.id}" />
I get this:
[echo] ${my.path.id}
*/
when i need to echo path id's i always use ${toString: ...}, i.e
<project name="bla" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="depends">
<path id="my.path.id">
<pathelement location="c:/jruby-0.9.8/lib/jruby.jar" />
<pathelement location="c:/PSPad editor/PSPad.exe" />
</path>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="depends">
<echo message="${toString:my.path.id}" />
</target>
</project>
and you get :
depends:
main:
[echo] C:\jruby-0.9.8\lib\jruby.jar;C:\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
The use of ${toString: ...} is not documented and not recommended
by the ant authorities as far as i remember.
That said, i use it very often without any problems til now.
