You have described what I am thinking of as an
<applyjava> task. On the Ant developer list we have
just decided that this is needed often enough to
warrant its inclusion in Ant's core. Expect it in a
future (probably post 1.7.1) version of Ant. Until
then your best options are:
- ant-contrib <for>
- <script>
- custom task
