JARs with IdP code and extension code do not appear on

We're getting there, but not quite :-) It looks like extension JARs
are on the head of the test path in build.xml.

Yep, I remember discussing this one with Walter. He felt they should be there in the case where an IdP test case tests something that relies on an item in an extension (e.g. testing the attribute resolver might require extensions that contain new data connectors). Which makes sense. Also, in this case, there is only the extension JARs, not the unpacked extension classes, on the classpath (the extension classes are only used by the extension unit test, prior to extension JAR creation). If your unit test behaves oddly here I think it's likely your WAR will behave oddly as the JARs that are used for the test are the ones that go in to the WAR.

So, just to make sure I understand. Are you running an IdP unit test which is invoking some code in your extension when you see the behavior of it picking up old class files?
