Why not simply remove the optional ant tasks from the classpath in the default 
install of ant? This 
seems pretty reasonable:

* For those that don't mind modifying their ant home directory, it's not really 
any extra work: since you 
can't use tasks like <junit> without manually adding junit.jar to the ant lib 
folder anyway, it doesn't 
seem like much more work to drag in two jars (ant-junit.jar & junit.jar) rather 
than one (junit.jar) into 
the lib folder.

* For this (like me) who want to create a user-friendly build process that does 
not require users to 
modify their ant installs, I can redistribute the relevant jars with my project 
and load them within my 
build.xml file.

I want my users to just be able to download my package and type 'ant' to have 
everything work. The 
only way I see to do this right now is to copy the source for the JUnit 
optional task into my own 
package, so that it is not loaded by the core classloader. This is a pretty 
crummy workaround.
