Diane, You can use Mock Objects (http://www.mockobjects.com) to "simulate" the real objects. At least this provides unit test for the code logic. However, it does not provide integration unit test. But I guess, as you said, this is really hard to cover.
Having unit tests that cover 100% of Ant's classes logic is already quite good in my opinion.
