(1) ExcelAnt depends on ant.jar. Are we OK to include it in the compilation classpath? It is a compile-time dependency, ant.jar is needed only to compile the new Ant tasks and will not be included in POI distributions.
I think we should put the code into its own jar. The ant jar is then only needed as a dependency when building that jar, so people can always exclude that target if they want
(2) What is the proper place for this code? I propose poi-scratchpad, later we can move it to poi-main.
I think it needs to be in its own jar. It has a dependency on ant, and I don't think we want to add that dependency to any of the current, widely used jars.
One thing we could perhaps do is provide an ant task that generates a single huge "poi-for-ant" jar which includes all the dependencies to make the install easier.
