You realize this is wrong and such code will fail in a container
environment. ( as general programming - for ant it may be ok ).

It is not wrong. Thats the way ant was designed to work ;)

Ok, would it be ok if the ant classes ( core, types, standard taskdefs )
are in the system loader, but the optional tasks are not ?

Not for my tasks. They use junit and xslt liasons.
