And I agree with this sentiment 110%. Its just good software design to
reduce coupling anyway.
But, it still remains that when you are running within Ant your output
should go through Ant's mechanisms. The same will be true for IDE
integration - you'll want your output to go through its mechanisms.
Have a look at Ant's new <input> task at how its implemented - this is a
task that allows pluggable InputHandlers so that Ant could get input from
console, properties files, or from a GUI. Perhaps something like that
should be applied to XDoclet where its got its own internal logging API that
writes to Ant's log when running within Ant and adapts to other mechanisms
when not within Ant.
