   > I need to figure out how these are actually used. I would have thought all these came from head. I'm surprised we're loading particular jars. We might need to pull in someone who has admin rights on the GitHub repo.
   
   They are referenced in the build.xml when setting up classpath for xjavac:
   
   ```
   classpath="${build.dir}/classes:${tools.dir}/${jar.apis}:${tools.dir}/${jar.resolver}:${tools.dir}/${jar.serializer}"
   ```
   
   but certainly overhauling the build would be good. I'd prefer to just migrate to a maven build. There seems to be a lot of unnecessary stuff in this Ant build. A good starting point could be to drop the deprecated tasks: 
   
    - deprecatedjar
    - deprecatedjars
    - deprecated-bin
    - deprecatedall
