I will answer the questions I can...the rest I would ask on eclipse.tools for help from the update committers.

- Why does org.eclipse.ant.core keep absolute location paths to Ant? Couldn't this be a variable so the org.eclipse.ant.core will just utilize the currently running version of the org.apache.ant plugin?

The absolute references are what is exposed to the user. Underneath, that Ant core preferences will look for the org.apache.ant plugin, query that plugin for its runtime libraries (ant.jar, optional.jar) and then adds those URLs to the classpath.

So if you replace the plugin, it should just work "automagically". You should not have to update the preferences at all.
