| <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. |

| <li> |
| <b>class</b> - the fully qualified name of a Java class</li> |

| </ul> |
| <b><i>Examples: </i></b>The following is an example of an object declaration: |
| <p><tt> <extension point="org.eclipse.ant.core.antObject"></tt> |
| <br><tt> <antObject name="com.example.Foo" |
| class="com.example.Foo"/></tt> |

| <p><b><i>API Information</i>:</b><i> </i>The objects declared via this |
| extension-point are accessible though the following API: |
| <p><tt> org.eclipse.core.ant.AntPlugin.getObjectExtensions</tt> |
| <p><b><i>Supplied Implementation:</i></b> The platform itself does not |
| supply any object extension. |
