| <b><i>Identifier: </i></b>org.eclipse.ant.core.antTypes |
| <p><b><i>Description: </i></b>Allows plug-ins to define arbitrary Ant datatypes |
| for use by the Ant infrastructure. The standard Ant infrastructure |
| allows for the addition of arbitrary datatypes. Unfortunately, it |
| is unlikely that the Ant Core plug-in would have the classes required by |
| these datatypes 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 datatype 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 implementing the |

| <b>library</b> - a path relative to the plug-in install location for the |
| library containing the type</li> |
