The Ant console has "pattern match listener" extensions registered with it 
to recognize certain patterns and create hyper links. If you look at the 
org.eclipse.ant.ui plug-in you will see 3 pattern matcher extensions 
registered with the Ant console. The extension point is 
"org.eclipse.ui.console.consolePatternMatchListeners". I'm not sure if it 
was one of these matchers that was creating the links for you in earlier 
releases. Others could have contributed to this extension point.
