If you are planning write JUnit tests for ANT tasks that you wrote, you may want to look at the helper JUnit TestCase sub-class that comes with the ANT source distribution. The class is called org.apache.tools.ant.BuildFileTest and if your testcase classes extend from this class you have helper function that can start the AntMain class and load a build file of you choice. After which you testXXX method merely call .executeTarget(...) to run a target from within that build file... Through this method, you are NOT running ANT in a seperate VM, instead you are instansitating/initializing an org.apache.tools.ant.Project class from within your JUnit test (and the container IDE) Look at the documentation that came with ANT for further information. Just my 2cents.
