Sure. Give it a whirl.
1) Get the jakarta-commons-sandbox-jjar from CVS (I don't think there
are nightly snapshots of it due to the nature of the sandbox as a place
to play and incubate...)
2) build it - you will need ant installed (not a hard install), and then
simply 'ant jar' in the root dir of jjar
3) copy jjar.jar into examples/ant-task
4) mkdir repository
5) ant test
and it should work against the remote repo that is the default.
