The ClassLoader task is no longer using the classloading hierarchy - the initial version did, and it resulted in the expected Linkage errors ( and related workarounds ). This was needed in [embed] to work around ant1.5 limitations - but when I merged I removed all the hacks, they are not needed in 1.6. By default it'll just add more jars to the main ant loader - and rely on the lazy creation of tasks. The <classloader> task can be extended to deal with hierarchies and direct/reverse delegation - but the most common use will be to extend the main ant loader. Costin
