    I'm trying to invoke "javac" with the sourcepath switch so that
    Tidy.jar can be used as a package. There might be a problem with how
    the property's are declared, perhaps?

    C:\>
    C:\>ant
    Buildfile: build.xml

    BUILD FAILED
    C:\build.xml:23: Element type "javac" must be followed by either
    attribute spe
    cifications, ">" or "/>".

    Total time: 0 seconds
    C:\>type build.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <project name="JTidy" default="package">

    <property name="outputDir"
    value="C:\java\classes\" />
    <property name="sourceDir"
    value="C:\java\sources\atreides\jtidy\" />
    <property name="sourceDir2"
    value="C:\java\sources\org\w3c\tidy\Tidy.jar" />
    <property name="mainClass"
    value="TidyTest" />

    <target name="clean">
    <delete dir="${outputDir}" />
    </target>

    <target name="prepare" depends="clean">
    <mkdir dir="${outputDir}" />
    </target>

    <target name="compile" depends="prepare">
    <javac
    <sourcepath>
    srcdir="${sourceDir}"
    srcdir2="${sourceDir2}"
    </sourcepath>
    <classpath>
    destdir="${outputDir}" />
    </classpath>
    </target>

    <target name="manifest" depends="compile">
    <manifest file="${outputDir}/MANIFEST.MF">
    <attribute name="Main-Class"
    value="atreides.monsters.${mainClass}" />
    </manifest>
    </target>

    <target name="package" depends="manifest">
    <jar jarfile="${outputDir}/${mainClass}.jar"
    basedir="${outputDir}"
    manifest="${outputDir}/MANIFEST.MF" />
    </target>

    </project>

    C:\>

    I'm trying to use the following as a template:

    <target ... >
    <javac ...>
    <classpath>
    <pathelement location="lib/"/>
    <pathelement path="${java.class.path}/"/>
    <pathelement path="${additional.path}"/>
    </classpath>
    </javac>
    </target>
    </project>

    Thanks,
