No please, don't do that.

You didn't give a reason as to why I shouldn't switch back.  If it's
because of things not working(at all), then list those problems.  I've
already discovered some cases of embedded jar paths in the build.xml
files that are out-of-date(I can't do cd framework/base; ../../ant
tests-cobertura, but using the system-ant does work(once I fix the
broken paths).

I've pointed out a problem, and I have a solution.  Don't just respond
saying don't do that, without a reason.  That isn't enough to stop me.

                       ant-contrib     If-ant.js
   (system-ant)
   Apache Ant version 1.8.0 compiled on March 11 2010
   time ant clean      18.131s         8.291s
   time ant build      44.072s         34.749s
   time ant build      20.228s         10.559s
   time ant clean      18.222s         8.490s
   (local-ant)
   Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.3 compiled on February 26 2012
   time ./ant clean    3.575s          3.218s
   time ./ant build    28.985s         28.909s
   time ./ant build    5.486s          5.232s
   time ./ant clean    3.876s          3.378s

The first ant clean is run when the system is already cleaned.  The
second ant build is also run when everything is already built.  It's a
way to test what happens when nothing is done.

first ant clean
ie with (system-ant)?

The first 4 runs are with the system ant.  The second 4 are with the
local ant.  notice the './' on the second set.  That's the clue.

second ant build
ie with (local-ant)?

I don't see much diff with (local-ant). why not using the embedded ant?

They are all slightly slower.  And that's not noise, it was consistent
in my runs.

I'd not worry about so low diff. respectively:
+11 %
+0.2 %
+4 %
+14 %
not significant enough to take action IMO (don't fix when it works)

I don't remember why I prefered ant-contrib,but I can digg deeper...
