I've used <apply> to fork java.exe in the past to work around this.
Not optimal, but works, and you can find the exe via the VM's builtin

I've also used <ac:for> on occasion.

I was more under the impression it was nixed on the grounds that you
should write your own task if the impl you wanted to leverage is
already in Java. --DD
