ant中path 与 location的区别

The location attribute specifies a single file or directory relative to the project's base directory (or an absolute filename), while the path attribute accepts colon- or semicolon-separated lists of locations. The path attribute is intended to be used with predefined paths - in any other case, multiple elements with location attributes should be preferred.

    <classpath>
      <pathelement path="${classpath}"/>
      <pathelement location="lib/helper.jar"/>
    </classpath>

最大的区别是，location只接收一个路径，而path可以跟多个路径，并用分割符来分开。
