This may sound naive, but honestly I would not expect many. 

Ant already has the <parallel> task, which of course is running things in 
other threads; additionally in the WAS build tools we already have what is 
essentially the equivalent to a parallel subant, and it's working fine.

Would you expect a lot of threading-related errors from the Ant core 
classes? If so what areas in particular are you worried about?

I could see how it could be interesting in some use cases. But I worry 
about thread safety. You'll be fielding all race condition bugreps I 
presume ?
