Not easily. Ant's projecthelper implementation wants to read from a
File and you really need a file when you want to resolve relative
paths and so on.
You could write your own ProjectHelper implementation which isn't too
hard to do, but in the end as soon as you want to do anything more
complex in your build file, you'll probably end up writing to a file
anyway.
