(1) ExcelAnt depends on ant.jar. Are we OK to include it in the compilation classpath? It is a compile-time dependency, ant.jar is needed only to compile the new Ant tasks and will not be included in POI distributions.

I think we should put the code into its own jar. The ant jar is then only needed as a dependency when building that jar, so people can always exclude that target if they want

I agree. I've just realized that putting it in poi-main will affect Maven distribution and we will have to add an Ant dependency in poi-main.pom. Are you OK with ant.jar in the lib directory and the sources in src/excelant relative to the project root? This way ExcelAnt will be a normal sub-project, like scratchpad and contrib.
