It seems to me that the natural choice for such a task would be the build-in Java versioning support (Jalopy needs Java 1.3 or later). As Ant 2.0 will require JDK 1.2, I would suggest that AntClassLoader.java will be extended to expose the Manifest information of the .jars it loads. If you can agree with me regarding this issue, I can submit a modified version that works for my purposes. The changes are fairly minimal but obviously requires at least JDK 1.2.
