Avalon Magic - JiBX Custom Task or Plugin

I now have my resources defined nicely in index.xml.  I also created a 
separate file, that I include to define my custom ant tasks.  My current 
build file for xsd2jibx looks like so:

<project name="xsd2jibx" default="build" basedir="./"
    xmlns:x="antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools">

  <x:home index="."/>
  <import file="${magic.templates}/standard.xml"/> 
  <import file="jibx-ant-task.xml"/>
 
  <target name="jibx" depends="build"
      description="compile the jibx bindings into the class files">
    <jibx>
      <classpath>
        <path refid="jibx.classpath"/>
        <pathelement location="target/classes"/>
      </classpath>
      <bindingfileset dir="target/classes/org/jibx/xsd2jibx">
        <include name="xsd.jibx.xml"/>
        <include name="jibx.jibx.xml"/>
      </bindingfileset>
    </jibx>
  </target>
</project>

My included "jibx-ant-task.xml" is as follows:

<project xmlns:x="antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools">
  <x:property name="jibx-bind.path" key="jibx-bind" feature="path"/>
  <x:property name="xpp3.path" key="xpp3" feature="path"/>
  <x:property name="jibx-run.path" key="jibx-run" feature="path"/>
  <x:property name="bcel.path" key="bcel" feature="path"/>
 
  <path id="jibx.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${magic.cache}" includes="
       ${jibx-bind.path},
       ${jibx-run.path},
       ${xpp3.path},
       ${bcel.path}"/>
  </path>
 
  <taskdef name="jibx" classname="org.jibx.binding.ant.CompileTask">
    <classpath>
      <path refid="jibx.classpath"/>
    </classpath>
  </taskdef>
</project>


Is there a magic variable that I could use instead of "target/classes"?  
Should the xml files I use go in "src/main" (what about src/etc)?  I 
tried create a JiBX magic plugin, but I got confused by the 
avalon-meta-tools example.  Must a plugin be defined in the index.xml 
and a .plugin file?  Which of those who should indicate what 
dependencies (jar's) are needed?  Must a task have a listener (I assume 
no)?  Where can you change the list of repositories to look for the jars?

Keep up the good work!  I hope to use Magic as the build tool for 
xsd2jibx in the near future.
