Yes, check out the antcall task. This allows you to execute the
same target multiple times with different sets of "inputs".

When looping, you have to create a "kick-out" condition. I used the
target's unless attribute. The idea is to loop until the property is
set. However, because a target can't antcall itself, you have to
replicate the target and have them cross-call each other:
<target name="worker">
<!-- This does the actual work. May depend on other workers. -->
</target>
<target name="looper_1" depends="worker" unless="some.condition">
<antcall target="looper_2"/>
</target>
<target name="looper_2" depends="worker" unless="some.condition">
<antcall target="looper_1"/>
</target>
This takes care of while loops. I've never tried implementing a for
loop in Ant. I suppose you could do something like the following
in the worker target:
<property name="counter" value="counter" />
<target name="worker">
<property name="${counter}." value="whatever" />
</target>
Then if you wanted to loop 3 times:
<target name="looper_1" depends="worker" unless="counter...">
<antcall target="looper_2"/>
</target>
<target name="looper_2" depends="worker" unless="counter...">
<antcall target="looper_1"/>
</target>
