Just for reference I have quite a bit of experience working with custom protocol handlers. In the context of Ant this subject will inevitably link back to the subject of system classloader mutation. Enabling the declaration of custom protocol handlers as a part of system classloader expansion would significantly simply things for applications such as Depot (which makes extensive use of custom handlers). In fact the combination of system classloader mutation plus support for custom URL handlers would contribute to a significant potential simplification of Depot's extensions to the Ant project model and task some task implementations.
