I did, guess I wasn't particularly clear. When I was making the following
comments, I should have stated that I was doing this by running ant via the
command line on a linux box.

Renaming the folder from "extralib test" to "extralib" allows the build to work
correctly once again.
So it's not a problem with eclipse, but rather that I was running eclipse on
Windows and my workspace folder in under a directory path that contains
multiple spaces. On the linux system that I generally write the ant scripts, I
use a heirarchy that doesn't have spaces in any directory name.
I've also done some additional testing and have found that the following will
eliminate the problem for a single space.
<chainedmapper>
<regexpmapper to="\1" from="file:([^\!]*)" />
<regexpmapper from="(.*)%20(.*)" to="\1 \2" />
</chainedmapper>
That's not particularly scalable as I can't just duplicate the second
regexpmapper to handle subsequent matches, as it results in an empty property
when I do.
So I'm currently looking at the following options:
1) whether there is a regex substitution in ant that can replace all occurances
of a string
2) whether to modify my libraries to be locatable by jarlib-resolve and
extension
3) Use scriptmapper
