hum, I didn't know about that task. As you can see, it is marked as
experimental, so its use is not more recommended than the reverseloader
attribute. Actually looking at the actual implementation, reverseloader looks
cleaner than this task.

I don't think there a proper official way to do so.
I have looked into the history of Ant, and it seems that this attribute
reverseloader was introduced already deprecated. At that time, the way
classloading was happening has being reversed from "child first" to the current
one "parent first". Some task were relying on the "child first" behavior so an
attribute was added for the desperate cases.
Then, only speaking for myself and not for the Ant committers, I don't think
"reverse" behavior to be ugly. We gain a fine control of the classloading, just
like we do while using inheritance in Java.
And considering Ant backward compatibility policy, I wouldn't worry much of
that attribute to be removed soon, even deprecated.
So it is not clean, but clean enough for me to use on edge cases like yours.
