public class MyBlock implements Contextualizable
{
private BlockContext _context;
public void contextualize( final Context context )
{
_context = (BlockContext)context;
}
public void someMethod()
{
File f = _context.getBaseDirectory();

sounds koool.

Phoenix extracts everything not in SAR-INF so you could store them in
something like
/SAR-INF/*.xml
/ant/lib/ant.jar
/ant/lib/ant-optional.jar
You can then reference these jars via
File f = _context.getBaseDirectory()
final File antFile = new File( f, "ant/lib/ant.jar" );
URL url = antFile.toURL();
URLCassLoader loader = new URLCassLoader( new URL[] { url } );

I am not sure whay you can't just copy $ANT_HOME/lib/* into /SAR-INF/lib
?
