I'm not sure whether there is a licensing problem, probably yes
because (with regard to JAXP). I see another reason against it - not
everybody wants to use the JACP reference, If I have xerces installed
anyway, why would I want to use another parser?

 JG> "java -jar antexe.jar"

Given the right MANIFEST.MF this should be possible anyway - if your
environment has been set up correctly (JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME and a JAXP
compliant parser in your CLASSPATH).
