we're using it already for the gnu.crypto project.  if we're to use ANT it 
would be a good idea to standardise on one way of using it; ie. standard 
mandatory targets, optional targets, syntax, organisation of the file, 
etc... and may be also a set of taskdefs for GNU projects -or at least for 
the classpathx ones;  basically things that would make it easy for new 
developers to intervene/adapt and use as quickly as possible with minimal 
learning curve.

i've already an iteration of an AntStyle document for a coding style (a 
JavaStyle one also exists) for the gnu.crypto project and wouldn't mind if 
others have a look, adopt and/or modify to suit.  if people are interested 
i can email it to them or if enough interest exists i can post it to this list.

haven't tried that before, mainly because of the size of the (xalan/xerces) 
jars involved.  where can i have a look at your build.xml?
