There's an <echo> tag in the Ant tag library which uses Ant's EchoTask.
Or the log tag library uses commons-logging (so you can log to log4j, JDK
1.4 logging or logkit)
<log:info> this is some text ${customer.name} </log:info>
<log:warn> I can contain other tags if I wish <j:useBean var="b"
class="Foo"/> ${b.getSomething()} </log:warn>

You could use the assertions from the JUnit library...
<test:assert test="${foo != null}"/>
<test:assert test="${bar != null}">You must define the bar attribute to run
this script</test:assert>
Though if this doesn't quite match your requirements I'm sure another
similar kind of tag could be created.
