Description Darin Swanson

Libraries specified via the extra ant classpath entries extention point are not 
exposed to the user.

This could lead to confusing problems.

I believe we should allow the user to see this entries and some mechanism to 
ensure that user supplied classpath entries can be included before the plugin 
specified entries.

See bug 24699 as well.

I have made an executive decision (ack :-) ) that it is too late in the game 
for the rework involved for this enhancement.

I did make some changes however that will possibly benefit power users:
the extra classpath entries are always added last to the classpath. This would 
allow custom classpath entries to "hide" the extension point specified entries.
As well, it should speed up classloading not to constantly be checking for 
classes in these jars (these URLs were being placed before the Ant URLs).

If you could verify the changes to AntRuntime, AntCorePreferences, 
AntClasspathTab and the AntClasspathPage.

Then mark this bug for later.

I noticed that #getDefaultURLS was removed from AntCorePreferences - however, 
this is considered a breaking API change? We should leave the method, but 
deprecated, and delegate to #getExtraClasspathURLs. As well, we should add 
the "since tag" to the new method.

AntCorePreferences was only promoted to "api" in 2.1.
It was internal in 2.0. See bug 19801.
I don't believe the changes are required?
