of course :-)
I wrote a snippet for the download :-)
<project name="common-define-require">
<scriptdef name="require" language="javascript">
<attribute name="file"/>
<attribute name="url"/>
<![CDATA[
// If 'file' is not present, download it from 'url'.
// Maybe you have to set the proxy before with <setproxy>
f = new java.io.File(attributes.get("file"));
if (!f.exists()) {
url = new java.net.URL(attributes.get("url"));
get = project.createTask("get");
get.setDest(f);
get.setSrc(url);
get.execute();
}
]]>
</scriptdef>
</project>
<property name="ant.test.lib" value="ant-testutil.jar"/>
<import file="${antcommon.dir}/define-require.xml"/>
<require file="${ant.test.lib}"
url="http://gump.covalent.net/jars/latest/ant/${ant.test.lib}"/>

- download the MD5 file and check for consistency
Have that :-)
But it�s longer so see at the buttom

I had only a half ear on the thread, but Forrest a feature like
"autodownload
skin" which sounds like the whole stuff here ...

Be open to plug in another kind of repo. Not only file based. Maybe
a scm tool (cvs, ...).

Yep. Talk with them. Maybe we can get their code ... or decide not to do
anything ...

More something in the middle: an AntLib.
