Also, while there *isnt* anything on testing ant tasks in the soon-to-be-seminal Java Development with Ant book, there are 5+ pages on the subject in its CVS repository that Erik or I could retrieve, update to the latest version of the test classes (it was written against the old one), and then add to the ant documentation.
