How to specify multiple source folders in build.properties when using ant to build Android projects?

Question

Apparently, I can specify source folders using the source.dir property in build.properties - but what if I want to specify multiple source folders ?

The comments below are from the build.xml file generated by the Android SDK tools:

<!-- The build.properties file can be created by you and is never touched
     by the 'android' tool. This is the place to change some of the default property values
     used by the Ant rules.
     Here are some properties you may want to change/update:

     application.package
         the name of your application package as defined in the manifest. Used by the
         'uninstall' rule.
     source.dir
         the name of the source directory. Default is 'src'.
     out.dir
         the name of the output directory. Default is 'bin'.

     Properties related to the SDK location or the project target should be updated
      using the 'android' tool with the 'update' action.

     This file is an integral part of the build system for your application and
     should be checked in in Version Control Systems.

     -->

Note: I dont care about building in Eclipse - Im setting up automated builds using ant.

Solution

Did you try using colons to separate paths? My build.properties looks like this:

source.dir=src:src2:src3:src4:src5
