/**
 * Sets the RootLoader as reference.
 * Reexecution of this task will set a new instance of RootLoader for
 * the reference. 
 *
 * arguments:
 * 
 * ref
 * classpath
 * 
 * 
 * all arguments are required.
 *
 * As ant requires an AntClassLoader as reference, this will create a RootLoader
 * and set an AntClassLoader as child and stored in the reference. The AntClassLoader
 * instance will not have a classpath nor will it have access to the classpath somehow,
 * all loading is done by the RootLoader parent. To avoid problems with loading classes 
 * multiple times and using them at the same time, this task will filter out the ant jars
 * and the commons-logging jars. This only works if the ant jars are starting with "ant-" and
 * the logging jar starts with "commons-logging-".
 * 
 * This was needed because if ant wants to access a task argument that uses for example a Path
 * it look for a matching method which includes a matching class. But two classes of the same name
 * with different classloaders are different, so ant would not be able to find the method.
