Re: [platform-ant-dev] Heads up: Eclipse Ant Support will be changing

Why do I have to specify a library in the new XML element you are
proposing?

You claim that the classloader of a plug-in that contributes to this
extension point is automatically included on the classpath. Doesn't that
mean that class com.examples.MyTask will be found in the plug-in jar?
If not, how can MyTask in turn refer to plug-in classes that are not
in myjar.jar?
