If this is the party line, I'm starting to wonder why there is a "plugin 
can add tasks to Ant" feature at all. (And feeling just a bit stupid for 
having written one.)

I can imagine all the great fun I can have explaining to users why they 
"installed your plugin and it doesn't work." I really don't get enough 
of that from the way Eclipse remembers past editor choices. ;-}

But I'm trying to reconcile 1) the plugin works just fine in 2.1 and 3.0 
by default with 2) the decision was made a long time ago that it 
wouldn't. Is that just one of those 3.0 incompatibility shoes that 
hasn't dropped yet?
