I like this idea. It seems there is a ton of potential for increasing the NAnt user base if we create a seriously integrated IDE plug-in; one that does a lot of work for you.
I personally enjoy the control of writing the buildfile myself, but there is a consensus here (my work) that using a tool such as NAnt is to difficult for some developers.
I've used the Ant integration with Forte, and it's not that impressive. Forte builds either a blank build file, a sample buildfile with stub targets, or a new Task. I haven't seen the JBuilder integration, but we have JBuilder 7 in house, so I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see how they are doing it.
This is definitely worth pursuing...

One of the features I wanted to add to the NAnt VS.Net Addin that Jayme wrote was the ability to create a NAnt build file from the current project. It would be pretty simple using slingshot, or an xslt transform.
Also, NAnt can now work (in the last few months) with in-memory build documents. This means you can programmatically, via a stream or the document directly, create a build file.
I've also written a simple xslt transform, much like Don has done, to convert a project file into a NAnt build file. There is no reason this can't be done completely in memory and executed immediately.
