From what we've seen so far it looks like each of the two builds that have been published in the PHB's will be released in game. So far we've seen Trickster Rogue, Control Wizard, Both Fighter builds, and Devoted Cleric. We've also heard that Archery Ranger, and Scourge Warlock should be the next two classes. Though who knows if that'll be at launch.
Which means we should see the Battle Cleric, Avenging Paladin, Protecting Paladin, Two-Blade Ranger, Brawny Rogue, Deceptive Warlock, Inspiring Warlord, Tactical Warlord, and War Wizard at some point. That's not including the PHB 2, and 3 classes.
The Ranger is not going to be ranged class. So no Archery Ranger. It's going to be a Two-Blade Ranger.
I am hoping that Cryptic are leaving the class names untouched and have the possibility to add more classes later.

I think part of the reason they didn't do barbarian was two fold.
1. The barbarian wasn't in the 4E PHB1, but the 4E PHB2. It looks like they want to go with "core" classes for 4E first and expand out from there.
2. They probably didn't want to mess with the rages and rage strikes that barbarians can get in 4E because, as far as I understand, it works quite differently than in 3.5E.
