I can *run* it now but:
1. It is unclear if I can upgrade NetBean's Ant to 1.7.
Some IDEs support switching; dunno about netbeans.
2. We ship Ant and it has to be a non-beta -- and it is much less confusing to stick to just one version for all purposes.
pull down the 1.7 source, extract Apt.task and repackage/rename it, check it compiles against the 1.6 version (move the tests too). Then redist the task yourself, taking care to monitor the original for any patches and applying them against your fork. if you are devious, probe for the tools.ant.optional.AptTask being on the classpath and only declare your own apt (with the same name) when it is not there.
I'd rather focus on getting 1.7 out the door, than backporting stuff to the 1.6 branch, but OSS gives you the right to do this yourself.
