It would be helpful if you post the snippets from your build.xml that don't
work the way you thought they should.
For example (with Ant 1.3, don't know if it will work with Ant 1.2, but it
should)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
<project name="test" default="compile" basedir=".">
<property name="lib.dir" value="lib"/>
<property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
<property name="classes.dir" value="classes"/>
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="compile">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${classes.dir}">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
</project>
will compile all the source in the sub-directory "src" into the
sub-directory "classes". The classpath will consist of all the jar files
that are in the sub-directory "lib".
