Re: [platform-ant-dev] Fixing Ant bug in a plugin?

There is an extension point (org.eclipse.ant.core.extraClasspathEntries) to add extra JARs to the Ant runtime classpath, but these JARs are added to the classpath after the Ant Home JARs.
 
I would encourage you to attach your fix to the Ant bug for inclusion in the next version of Ant.

Subject: [platform-ant-dev] Fixing Ant bug in a plugin?

There's a nasty bug in Ant 1.7 that prevents the <ftp> <modified> tag from working properly.

See: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45010

The fix to this is very simple (changing one line in an Ant class).

I'd like to package a patched Ant class into a jar and include that jar into a plugin that my users can use with Eclipse to simplify fixing this problem.

- Can I do this with an extension point that adds the jar to the beginning of the Ant classpath?
- Can I make the extension conditional on having the Ant 1.7 plugin?

I'm a newbie to writing plugins, can anyone help me with the plugin.xml to do this?

Thanks,
Kirk Wolf
