I recently ran into similar issues passing classpaths to ant ant-mojo  
and it turns out there is not 'automatic' way to do it.

The classpath gets passed into and as a 'reference' to a List.  But  
for it to be a classpath in needs to be an ant path.

I wrote a solution that works thought that you can look at:

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opennms/maven-plugins/trunk/opennms- 
groovyc-plugin


What's really needed is a set of 'helper' tasks that can be used to  
do what my script tasks do

Hope this helps.

Please email if you have any suggestions.  I would love to generalize  
it to a set of helpers for ant-mojos.
