fix for the problem

the Eclipse Ant extra classpath entries extension point allows folks to contribute .jars to the classpath of the ant loader used to run a build but not a directory.  The problem comes down to the code in computeDefaultExtraClasspathEntries where it gets a URL, converts to a file, makes it absolute and then creates a URL.  The URL starts out with a '/' on the end to indicate directory but converting to a file loses that.  The final URL does NOT have a '/' so the URL/Ant classloader ignores it.

I'll attach a simple and safe patch that corrects the problem.
