We're having a similar problem with our install4j code, which is
basically 30 lines of Ant that gets copied and pasted to each new
project that needs to build an installer. Of course, this can
introduce bugs, especially when one of the 30 lines needs to change,
and that change has to propagate to all the projects.
To solve this problem, I'm writing a plugin that factors out the
common code into a single place. The projects can then reference the
plugin and specify just enough information that's unique to their
setup. Perhaps a similar solution would work in your case.
