I noticed these jars myself as I was doing some work on the StarTeam tasks this 
weekend.  What version did this start with?  Is there some documentation on 
this change?  What are the expected benefits?  Right from the start I would 
guess it makes it easier to debug problems.  No longer do you have an 
optional.jar whose contents are hidden.  

However, are there dependencies among the dependencies?  So that needs-x.jar 
might be different depending on whether needs-y.jar is built or not?  Or is 
that not an issue?  Would that make it possible to simply drop a needs-*.jar 
onto the classpath to change the behavior of ant?  I'd like to understand the 
thinking behind this.  Sorry I haven't been keeping up on the discussions as 
much as I should have.

Yes, he did.
