I'm not sure to understand well what you mean behind that question. My answer is yes, when a plugin provides Ant tasks, they are refered in a antlib.xml with a dedicated URI. But a plugin does not provide systematically Ant tasks. In my build system, a plugin has a 'configure' target that is executed to extend the build system with plugin features: targets, generated properties, tasks... All that stuff is provided in a plugin Ant build file, which is read as a resource directly from the jar it is stored in. That's why I would like the BuildException not to be thrown in ProjectHelper2 when asking to parse a URL.
