The classpath attribute is not available to the created task.

In the task one can use MyTask.class.getClassLoader() to
get the classloader that loaded the task.
If this is of type AntClassloader, one can use AntClassloader.getClassPath()
to get the path used in the loader.

However there are a number of issues with this:
  - the MyTask may be in a system classpath, or other classpath - in which
    case, the classloader seen will not be the classloader used by <taskdef>
 - there must be other means to achive the same goal.
   - for example keep a reference to the path use use this refernce for
   the <java> task.
