| <p>Plug-ins can contribute |
| <a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ant_core_extraClasspathEntries.html">extra JAR files</a> |
| to the Ant classpath. The plug-in contributing the JARs is added to the Ant classpath, and as a result, |
| classes inside the contributed JAR files will have access to all classes available to the plug-in. However, the |
| reverse is not true. Since the contributed JAR files must be separate JARs, and not plug-in libraries, |
| the plug-in classes do not have access to the classes provided by the contributed JARs. The |
| <a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ant_core_extraClasspathEntries.html"> |
| <b>org.eclipse.ant.core.extraClasspathEntries</b></a> extension point provides an example of how to specify the extra JARs |
| in the plugin.xml file.</p> |
