    My Windows issue doesn't have anything to do with
    /Library/WebObjects/Extensions.
     
    Because of limitations in windows (or at least some versions of
    windows), the .cmd file in the application's directory that launches the
    app for windows limits the length of the command line.
     
    This effectively limits the length of the classpath.
     
    Some old documentation on the Apple website describes the problem, and
    the solution they implemented at the time:

    		That doesn't help us poor Windows people. Having got my
custom build script working, I now see:
		 
		The command line is still too long for Windows command
scripting to process.
		Please use the SUBPATHS.TXT file to specify a more
appropriate set of paths to
		substitute.  Use the longest paths, particularly if they
are common, and
		eliminate any paths in SUBPATHS.TXT that you aren't
actually using in your
		classpath file.  Further, eliminate any paths from the
classpath file that
		that you don't really need, e.g. "WOROOT/Library/Java".
		If that doesn't suffice, pare down command-line
arguments as much as you can.
		Terminating!
		Press any key to continue . . .
		
		The WOBootstrap.jar way was a brilliant workaround for
this problem...

    	I'm not sure I follow this ... Explain this in terms of exact
changes I need to make to ant to do whatever you're recommending.
Honestly, I'm totally against /Library/WebObjects/Extensions, anyway.
