>
> The ant file for loading and mounting plugins is horribly complex now that we 
> are using versioned plugins. I've used lots of if elements and mutable 
> properties from the ant-contrib package. In my view when you overuse these 
> tasks it generally means you should have a specialised ANT task to handle the 
> logic. ANT is not supposed to be a programming language.
> We need to create an ANT task for the handling the installation of plugns so 
> that we have more control over what is going on (for example, we can remove 
> the need to have an unversioned plugin to fall back on).
