I wouldn't know off the top of my head. I don't know how Cucumber works, but is there any way you can execute command line scripts to manage the process lifecycle instead of using Ant? That is, fire off the dev appserver in the background using &, nohup or screen and kill that process when finished? I know it's not the cleanest way of doing things but if your goal is to make this thing work it might be something to explore.
