- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Cloneable,- Iterable<Resource>,- ResourceCollection
This object represents a path as used by CLASSPATH or PATH
 environment variable. A path might also be described as a collection
 of unique filesystem resources.
 
 <sometask>
   <somepath>
     <pathelement location="/path/to/file.jar"/>
     <pathelement path="/path/to/file2.jar:/path/to/class2;/path/to/class3"/>
     <pathelement location="/path/to/file3.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="/path/to/file4.jar"/>
   </somepath>
 </sometask>
 
 
 The object implementation sometask must provide a method called
 createSomepath which returns an instance of Path.
 Nested path definitions are handled by the Path object and must be labeled
 pathelement.
 
 The path element takes a parameter path which will be parsed
 and split into single elements. It will usually be used
 to define a path from an environment variable.

- 
Constructor Details- 
Path
- 
PathConstruct an emptyPath.- Parameters:
- project- the- Projectfor this path.
 
 
- 
- 
Method Details- 
setLocationAdds a element definition to the path.- Parameters:
- location- the location of the element to add (must not be- nullnor empty.
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
setPathParses a path definition and creates single PathElements.- Parameters:
- path- the- Stringpath definition.
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
setRefidMakes this instance in effect a reference to another Path instance.You must not set another attribute or nest elements inside this element if you make it a reference. - Overrides:
- setRefidin class- DataType
- Parameters:
- r- the reference to another Path
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
createPathElementCreates the nested<pathelement>element.- Returns:
- the PathElementto be configured
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
addFilesetAdds a nested<fileset>element.- Parameters:
- fs- a- FileSetto be added to the path
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
addFilelistAdds a nested<filelist>element.- Parameters:
- fl- a- FileListto be added to the path
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
addDirsetAdds a nested<dirset>element.- Parameters:
- dset- a- DirSetto be added to the path
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
 
- 
addAdds a nested path- Parameters:
- path- a- Pathto be added to the path
- Throws:
- BuildException- on error
- Since:
- Ant 1.6
 
- 
addAdd a nestedResourceCollection.- Parameters:
- c- the ResourceCollection to add.
- Since:
- Ant 1.7

- BuildException- on error
 
- 
appendAppend the contents of the other Path instance to this.- Parameters:
- other- a- Pathto be added to the path
 
- 
addExistingAdds the components on the given path which exist to this Path. Components that don't exist aren't added.- Parameters:
- source- - source path whose components are examined for existence
 
- 
addExistingSame as addExisting, but support classpath behavior if tryUserDir is true. Classpaths are relative to user dir, not the project base. That used to break jspc test- Parameters:

- Throws:
- BuildException- on error.
 
- 
concatSystemClasspathConcatenates the system class path in the order specified by the ${build.sysclasspath} property - using "last" as default value.- Returns:
- the concatenated path
 
- 
concatSystemClasspathConcatenates the system class path in the order specified by the ${build.sysclasspath} property - using the supplied value if ${build.sysclasspath} has not been set.- Parameters:

- Returns:
- the concatenated path

addJavaRuntimepublic void addJavaRuntime()Add the Java Runtime classes to this Path instance.
- 
addExtdirsEmulation of extdirs feature in Java >= 1.2. This method adds all files in the given directories (but not in sub-directories!) to the classpath, so that you don't have to specify them all one by one.- Parameters:
- extdirs- - Path to append files to
 
- 
iteratorFulfill the ResourceCollection contract. The Iterator returned will throw ConcurrentModificationExceptions if ResourceCollections are added to this container while the Iterator is in use.
- 
isFilesystemOnlypublic boolean isFilesystemOnly()Fulfill the ResourceCollection contract.- Specified by:
- isFilesystemOnlyin interface- ResourceCollection
- Returns:
- whether this is a filesystem-only resource collection.
 
- 
assertFilesystemOnlyVerify the specified ResourceCollection is filesystem-only.- Parameters:
- rc- the ResourceCollection to check.
- Returns:
- the passed in ResourceCollection.
- Throws:
- BuildException- if- rcis not filesystem-only.
 
- 
delegateIteratorToListprotected boolean delegateIteratorToList()Helps determine whether to preserve BC by callinglist()on subclasses. The default behavior of this method is to returntruefor any subclass that implementslist(); this can, of course, be avoided by overriding this method to returnfalse. It is not expected that the result of this method should change over time, thus it is called only once.- Returns:
- trueif- iterator()should delegate to- list().
