[opencms-dev] error in build-single.xml file for modules with additional libraries, fix

[Andras Balogh]

Hello,

What You describe it was noticed also by me when trying to build the 
sources and opencms-modules inside Eclipse.
I thought it was my IDE that is different than other people's.
My environment was Windows XP pro with Eclipse 3.1  (ant emmbedded in 
Eclipse i think)

Best regards,
Andras.
