1) Can you handle task depending on classes, which are part of another task
ans residing in another jar?
2) Syntactic sugar: Allow URLs to allow even easier deployment (ideal for
large installations with unattendet builds running) and the Path class (with
extensions);
<load>
<classpath definition="lib/ant-special.jar:lib/utils.jar">
<element location="${user.home}/.ant/ext/my.jar"/>
<element url="http://build.example.org/ant/ext/more.jar"/>
<element url="http://build.example.org/ant/ext/even/more.jar"/>
</classpath>
</load>
