Keep the single source as part of the .jar as well - and make Ant use this single source instead of the scattered information. Generate information that can be used by other tools as well - or Ant 1.5 in the case of properties files.

Sometimes you may want to use something that has an execute method as a type. Manifest has been such a case until recently.
