You could say:

    <antlib library="xyz.jar" loaderid="trax" >
        <classpath path="xalan.jar;xml-apis.jar" />
    </antlib>

You get the idea. Here I have xyz.jar because at the moment <antlib> requires 
at least
one of the jars in the classpatha and library or file attributes to containing 
a MANIFEST/antlib.xml.

I think in your case the AntClassloader thing is of very little use.
The way to go, I think is with <antlib>.
