|  | <h2><a name="sysclasspath">build.sysclasspath</a></h2> | 
|  | <p>The value of the build.sysclasspath property | 
|  | control how the system classpath, ie. the classpath in effect when | 
|  | Ant is run, affects the behaviour of classpaths in Ant. | 
|  | The default behavior varies from Ant to Ant task.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The values and their meanings are: | 
|  |  | 
|  | <table cellspacing="20"> | 
|  | <tr> | 
|  | <th align="left" valign="top">only</th> | 
|  | <td>Only the system classpath is used and classpaths specified in build files, | 
|  | etc are ignored. This situation could be considered as the person running | 
|  | the build file knows more about the environment than the person writing the | 
|  | build file | 
|  | </td> | 
|  | </tr> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <tr> | 
|  | <th align="left" valign="top">ignore</th> | 
|  | <td> | 
|  | The system classpath is ignored. This situation is the reverse of the | 
|  | above. The person running the build trusts the build file writer to get the | 
|  | build file right | 
|  | </td> | 
|  | </tr> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <tr> | 
|  | <th align="left" valign="top">last</th> | 
|  | <td> | 
|  | The classpath is concatenated to any specified classpaths at the end. This | 
|  | is a compromise, where the build file writer has priority. | 
|  | </td> | 
|  | </tr> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <tr> | 
|  | <th align="left" valign="top">first</th> | 
|  | <td> | 
|  | Any specified classpaths are concatenated to the system classpath. This is | 
|  | the other form of compromise where the build runner has priority. | 
|  | </td> | 
|  | </tr> |
