public class PathUtil

extends java.lang.Object

Modifed for Attrib4j to only take the utility method to convert path names to the correct platform representation. This object represents a path as used by CLASSPATH or PATH environment variable.

<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 implemention 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.
