Actually my solution (DynamicConfigurator) was for Ant 1.x.

But you could still have:
<ejbdoclet>
<container classname="com.blah.foo.OurSubTaskContainer">
</container>
</ejbdoclet>
The dilemma is that within <container> you'd have to have a known
well-defined set of sub-elements. Definitely far from ideal and quite
clunky compared to how it should be.
