The following should work: 
 (Note that I missed out SYSTEM on my earlier post )

 
<project name="Test" default="compile" basedir=".">
 <!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY stdPath  SYSTEM "file:///L:/java/src/project.class.path" >
]>
   <!-- set global properties for this build -->
   <property name="src" value="."/>
   <property name="build" value="L:/java/build"/>
 
   &stdPath;

   <target name="compile">
     <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into
 ${build} -->
     <javac srcdir="${src}"
            destdir="${build}"
 	   debug="on"
 	   classpathref="project.class.path">
 	   <include name="*.java"/>
 	   <exclude name="test/**"/>
     </javac>
   </target>
 </project>
