Dynamically Loading classes into Ants JVM

[Perrins Matthew <ma...@barclaycard.co.uk>]

Do you know if it is possible to supply a new classpath to the running ANT
JVM ? , I have written an extension that requires some of the compiled
classes and there dependants to be in the classpath, but this classpath can
change I don't want to hardcode it outside the ant build.xml. 

<javac> and <java> both support a separate classpath property, so they don't
have a problem compiling or executing classes that are not in the ANTs
classpath.

Thanks

Is this extension a task? <taskdef> has a classpath child element as
well.
