Well, originally this variable was set to nil.  Then I found it some days ago, 
was happy about having found a reason why it doesn't find that jar file, but 
it didn't help...

Yes, I use the script-method.

Ok, I did it that way and it works. However, I think what jde does here is 
confusing.  There should at least be a warning in the doc-strings in what 
circumstances it transmits jde-global-classpath to ant and in what not.

I started trying to solve this problem with the expectation "I tell jde what 
the classpath is and don't have to worry about how it handles the rest".

Thanks for your help,
