How can I reference classpathref in a military task?

Question

I declare the following classpath link for my librairies applications:

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

I can compile the code using the librairies class path:

 <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build.classes}" classpathref="libraries"/> 

But I cannot find a way to include a set of librairies files in my WAR file as well:

 <war destfile="${release.dir}/rel.war" webxml="${webinf}"> <classes dir="${build.classes}"/> <!-- I need to copy paste the same directory declaration! --> <lib dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/> </war> 

How can I replace the lib declaration with one that reuses the same path as in my javac task?

Answer 1

Declare a fileset from path and give it an identifier:

 <fileset id="xxx" dir="..." includes="..." /> 

Then specify the identifier in both declarations ( lib indicates a set of files, so you do not need to use nesting):

 <path id="libraries"> <fileset refid="xxx"/> </path> ... <lib refid="xxx"/>
