Echoing out ant fileset to screen for Debugging

Question

I have this:

    <ivy:buildlist reference="build-path">         <fileset dir="${root.dir}">             <include name="*/build.xml" />             <include name="controllers/*/build.xml" />         </fileset>     </ivy:buildlist>       <subant buildpathref="build-path">         <target name="jar.all" />         <target name="publish-local" />     </subant> 

I want to echo out everything that is in the "build-path" reference (for debugging some things).

I have tried:

<echo>${build-path}</echo> 

but it just echos that exact text "${build-path}"

You can use the documented (honest, it's in there somewhere...) toString helper:

<echo message="My build-path is ${toString:build-path}" />
