Trying to be less cryptic. If we use the new launcher and keep ant.jar away from the CLASSPATH, then all builds that try to use a custom task from a jar that is on the CLASSPATH will fail - these tasks are not able to load org.apache.tools.ant.Task or any other Ant class as the custom task is loaded from the system classloader and not from the one containing ant.jar. All projects that use xdoclet or checkstyle or ant-contrib would be affected by such a change in Gump. We may need to rethink the classloader hierarchy here.
