Subject: Appending to the environment's classpath?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I searched the mailing list archives 
with no luck.

Am I correct in understanding that it's impossible to append to the 
classpath for a javac task if the classpath is set at the OS environment 
level?

I'm using 1.3 on Win2k (and Solaris, but I haven't tested it there) and 
it appears that if I don't specify any classpath in the build file, it 
takes the value of the CLASSPATH environment variable (as expected). 
 But I'd like to be able to add to the classpath within the build file, 
but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it.  Evverything 
I've tried seems to be ignored, and the classpath stays the same 
(checking this by using -verbose or -debug).

Thanks,

dwh
