Not if it has helped you. I have decided to revamp the way classpaths are
handled in the JDE in order to more easily and robustly incorporate
features, such as relative paths, environment variables, and
Cygwin-to-Windows path conversion, and now library directories. It has
simply been easier for me to implement the new features from scratch then
to try to figure out how what you have done fits into the new classpath
code, especially as you seem to be focusing on compilation while classpath
handling is also used by the JDE's run, debug, beanshell, and javadoc
generation commands.

I'm not familiar with extdirs. I believe Ant allows you to specify a
directory and one or more regular expresions for including or excluding
files from that directory. I may try to duplicate that capability in a
customization variable setting, i.e., you would be able to specify
something like
jde-class-library-dirs
Directory Path: d:/foo/bar
Include: in*.jar
Include: fo*.zip
Exclude: ex*.jar
