It is simply Java code - so you would write a Java ant task to wrap
the existing code.

Some things to note:
- the best solution would be to read the plugin metadata and construct
the ant task automatically (similarly to generating the documentation)
- some plugins use private field injection, so will need setters added.
- I'm not certain, but those with simple setters and no logging may
even work as is.

The eclipse plugin would not work as is due to requiring a project
instance, and doesn't currently have setters - but it is definitely
possible.

Hope this helps. If you'd like to contribute to any of these tasks
we'd be happy to help. If you'd like to file a JIRA issue for it to be
addressed later, that can be worked on after the 2.0 release.

Cheers,
Brett
