The place that something like this would be handy is when adding custom
tasks and types. Once I specify an Ant classpath, it would be great to have
a dialog like this that would include only the classes in the Ant classpath
and give me that nifty type ahead feature.

Although, IMHO, the problem with the Ant classpath / task preferences
dialog
(if I understand it correctly) is that it allows me to omit taskdef lines
that would be necessary when using the build file outside of the IDE. I
personally think it's a bad idea for build files to have such dependencies
on an IDE as the whole point of Ant is portability. If this feature were
recast as a wizard that would add the necessary taskdef lines to the build
file it would be much more useful.
