/**
 * Offers some helper methods on the Path structure in ant.
 *
 * <p>The basic idea behind this utility class is to use it from inside the
 * different Ant objects (and user defined objects) that need classLoading
 * for their operation.
 * Normally those would have a setClasspathRef() {for the @classpathref}
 * and/or a createClasspath() {for the nested <classpath>}
 * Typically one would have in your Ant Task or DataType</p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
 * ClasspathUtils.Delegate cpDelegate;
 *
 * public void init() {
 *     this.cpDelegate = ClasspathUtils.getDelegate(this);
 *     super.init();
 * }
 *
 * public void setClasspathRef(Reference r) {
 *     this.cpDelegate.setClasspathRef(r);
 * }
 *
 * public Path createClasspath() {
 *     return this.cpDelegate.createClasspath();
 * }
 *
 * public void setClassname(String fqcn) {
 *     this.cpDelegate.setClassname(fqcn);
 * }
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * <p>At execution time, when you actually need the classloading
 * you can just:</p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
 *     Object o = this.cpDelegate.newInstance();
 * </code></pre>
