I'd personally prefer a new <*def>, rather than overloading <typedef>, perhaps called <tagdef> or <roledef> or <elementdef>.
I do not really mind what it is called, <roledef> is probally the best of the bunch.

Do you mean to having a .java equivalent to an antlib.xml?
Yes, it would be a class that has a public method AntTypeDefintion[] getDefinitions(). The name of the class could be fixed <package>.AntTypeDefinitions - or set by the jar service entry. The XML namespace would be the same as a corresponding antlib.xml ie <package> -> antlib:<package>

@ant.type --> <typedef> @ant.task --> <taskdef> @ant.role --> <roledef> Peter ---------------------------------------------------------------------
