You can build the JARs (using Ant of course :-) ) and then use in the self- hosting case.
This is how we work / test with the Ant integration for Eclipse.

Yes, extraClasspathEntry is a required attribute for the extension point.

It's working fine, thanks Darins for your help !
One thing though : this doesn't work in self-hosting since the jar isn't there, and the extension point must have an extraClasspathEntry for the related plugin classloader to be added.

Julien, 

We are in the midst of a test past for the release cycle of 2.1. 
2.1 is feature complete. 

But I think it should be possible to achieve what you need using the current support. 
As a side-effect of using the org.eclipse.ant.core.extraClasspathEntries extension point, you can add parent plug-in classloaders to the AntClassLoader. 
This way the classes loaded by the AntClassLoader could have access to classes loaded by a parent plug-in classloader (to get at a static instance for example).

Hi, 
  
I would like to be able to set the ClassLoader that AntRunner uses. There currently is a possibility to set a custom classpath, but this is not enough for what I want to do (access to singleton instances). Is this possible ? I could submit the patch for that if everything is ok. 
  
Thanks,
