vmgump is on 6b20 and I don't think there is anything more recent
available for Ubuntu 10.4 (unless we fiddle with package sources, I

You can set system properties via <sysproperty> inside the Gump
descriptor and if you use
<sysproperty name="ant.build.clonevm" value="true"/>
Ant will make sure any system property will be passed to a new Java VM

that is).
