I have ANT scripts that I use for building.  They have been so successful that 
I use ANT scripts to start my Java applications as well.  Currently, I start a 
Java application and the GUI application all on one machine (the server) using 
an ANT script.

I need to move the GUI application to client machines and leave the server 
application on the server.  I want to be able to start those client 
applications, using an ANT script called from the server.

This would be especially useful in the system initialization, where I would 
like to start all of the clients from the server.  Also it would be useful in 
the case when the client goes down; I want to be able to restart the 
application from the server.

This really depends on your use case, please provide more details.

For example, it is possible to:
- invoke ant via SSH (secure shell)
- invoke Ant automatically on build slaves from a continuous
integration server (such as Hudson)
- etc.
