Thanks for your suggestion, Diane. It seems that it did not work me.
So I put in few echo statements around your suggestion.
    <echo>Start of new code</echo>
    <property name="whatever" refid="compile.classpath"/>
    <echo>After property set</echo>
    <echo>compile.classpath = ${whatever}</echo>
    <echo>End of new code</echo>

and here is the output ---------
	[echo] Start of new code
    (and after a blank line)
    BUILD FAILED 
    (because of an incorrect entry in compile.classpath)

Even the echo message "After property set" did not show up.
Am I missing something here? Are echo messages somehow
buffered by ant?
