There's some discussion raging in Maven land for Maven2 as whether we could/should reuse Ant tasks in embedded mode from within Maven plugins written in java.
Well, whether you should is beyond our opinion 8-)
"could", I'd say yes. If you realize that you can't that probably means that Ant tasks aren't as embeddable/reusable as we'd like them to be. And then we should probably fix that.
Tomcat's Jasper embeds Ant's javac task without using Ant's runtime environment IIRC, so at least for this task, embedding seems to work. I must admit that I don't know how many hoops the Jasper folks had to jump through, though.
commons launcher, which is 'based on tomcat', uses ant as a bootloader for applications; it may be the case that tomcat does use the ant runtime after all. But I havent looked at the source to see.
