It does - AFAIK. The code is in ant/proposals/embed - right now embed works _only_ for ant1.5 ( since 1.6 already has the same or better code ). It is a ProjectHelper plugin - if you build embed and place it in ant1.5 CLASSPATH it'll enable support for "dynamic properties", import and few other features. The interfaces are not frozen - I'm sure Stefan and other people will review it and some improvments will happen. Support for JXPath and Velocity dynamic properties is in proposals/embed - you can use it as example.
