OK, this is good.

Anteater currently uses Jaxen, is it possible for the validation code to use
Jaxen instead of JXPath?

I think the syntax you proposed is reasonable for a start.

How does Junit catch the interrupt? We can probably use the same mechanism
to catch the interrupt, and execute the reporting code.

Just group the different test cases in two different targets. In a common
test target, just do the login, then call the two targets sequentially, and
then do the logout. If you want the two steps to happen in parallel, you can
use Ant's <parallel> element.
Something like this:
<target name="test1">
// Do the steps for test case 1
</target>
<target name="test2">
// Do the steps for test case 2
</target>
<target name="full-test">
<http>
// Do the login here
<antcall target="test1"/>
<antcall target="test2"/>
// Do the logout here
</http>
</target>
The <target> element acts as a function here, and you make use of <antcall>
to invoke it.
If you want to reuse functionality across multiple ant files, just define
the common functionality in targets in a common file, and call them using
the <ant> target.
Does this answer your question?

OK, you're in!
