Agreed. This is exactly what I have. Actually I have several installs of
Ant (which isn't a problem for me):
jakarta-ant-1.5.1
jakarta-ant-cactus-1.5
jakarta-ant-cactus-1.4
Then, in my project I have an ant.bat file with:
@echo off
set ANT_HOME=c:\apps\jakarta-ant-1.5-cactus
set PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
call %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

<ant target="dist" antfile="documentation/build.xml"
inheritAll="false">
<property file="build.properties" />
<property file="${user.home}/build.properties" />
</ant>
inheritAll is false (voluntarily).
