You will need to use the nightly build of ant (1.6alpha).
an add(Condition condition) method has been
added to ConditionBase. This will pick up
typedef's conditions.
Usage:
Write a condition - a class implementing
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Condition
Typedef the condition:
<typedef name="my.condition" classname="..." classpath=".."/>
The condition can then be used in the waitfor task;
<waitfor..
<my.condition attr="x">
<subclass attr="y">
</my.condition>
</waitfor>
