ANT problem

[WebGoat]

to set the classpath you use this snippet


<path id="build.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${build.lib}" includes="**/*.jar"/> 
    <fileset dir="${build.classes}" /> 
  </path>
 
  <target....>
    <javac ....>
      <classpath refid="build.classpath" />
    </java>
  </target>
 
  <target....>
    <java ....>
      <classpath refid="build.classpath" />
    </java>
  </target>

my question :

question 1> are these id="build.classpath" , dir="${build.lib}" etc are fixed ?

i.e , can i write id="anything.someotherthing" or dir="onething.otherthing" ? instead of "build.classpath" or "build.lib" ?


question 2 > what is includes="**/*.jar"/ ? can you explain why there are 2 slashes ? and also those starts ?

thank you

ANT does come with comprehensive documentation you know. All this is explained therein.
