ANTS2.0 uses a new security infrastructure to control access to APIs
like those used by the routing table.  For an example, look at
ants.core.security.SecurityDefaults.java and ants.route.  The
addMediator interface is no longer supported.  (I'm not sure what the
appropriate solution on ANTS 1.3 would be.)

Perhaps your extension can just become an application on ANTS2.0?
(Like the ants.route.* app?)  The ANTS Extension class in 2.0 isn't by
any of the example code, so its probably out of date.  Please let us
know if you encounter any problems with it.
