| <b><i>Identifier: </i></b>org.eclipse.ant.core.antObjects<p><b><i>Description: </i></b>Allows | |
| plug-ins to define arbitrary classes for use by the Ant infrastructure. | |
| For example, in the case of a Javac compiler adapter, the compiler adapter | |
| factory can be supplied, via a property setting, with the name of an adapter | |
| class to use. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the Ant Core plug-in | |
| would have this class on its classpath (or that of any of its | |
| prerequisites). To address this, clients should define an extension which | |
| plugs into this extension-point and maps a name onto a class. The Ant | |
| plug-in can then request that the declaring plug-in load the specified class. | |

| <p><b><i>Supplied Implementation:</i></b> The platform itself does not supply | |
| any object extension. | |
