Oh, instead of modifying Ant you could also put checkstyle into your project
( ${basedir}/checkstyle ) and work from inside Ant:
<project xmlns:cs="antlib:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle">
<taskdef uri="antlib:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle"
resource="com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/antlib.xml"
>
<classpath><fileset dir="checkstyle" includes="*.jar"/></classpath>
</taskdef>
<cs:checkstyle (without xmlns:cs attribute as it's already defined)
</project>
As a further step, you could let Ivy download cs and define the path ...
<ivy:cachepath organisation="checkstyle" module="checkstyle"
revision="4.3"
inline="true" conf="default"
pathid="checkstyle.classpath" transitive="true" />
<taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties"
classpathref="checkstyle.classpath" />
see http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ivy/core/trunk/build.xml?view=markup
