[platform-ant-dev] Ant Core and other plug-ins task wrappers

Currently Ant Core contributes tasks that are wrappers to other plug-in's 
tasks like refreshLocal, incrementalBuild, createProject etc... It seems 
that this kind of tasks should be contributed by the plug-ins that own the 
objects being wrapped. 

The use case is the JDT compiler adapter. Currently it is contributed by 
PDE Core. But it will be moved to JDT Core when possible. The rationale is 
that JDT Core is in much better shape of understanding how the compiler 
task should be contributed. It does not mean that JDT Core cannot work 
without having the Ant plug-in around. The only thing that happens if the 
Ant plug-in is not around is that the JDT compiler adapter will not work.

Having that in mind, tasks like refreshLocal and incrementalBuild should 
be contributed by Core Resources and not Ant Core.

Any thoughts on this issue?
