I answered that in my first reply. There's nothing stopping you from
importing the WAS tasks into an Ant 1.6.5 runtime; the difficulty you may
run into would be that I'm not sure what other JAR files (in addition to
the one that contains the task classes) would need to be on the classpath.
So, it may take a while before you've found all the JARs needed. Once you
do that you run into the (admittedly remote) possibility that the tasks
are coded to an API that is no longer available in Ant 1.6.5; I know the
committers try extremely hard to maintain B/C, but it still might happen.
I also feel obligated to point out that I'm pretty sure that this would
not be a supported configuration...
Good luck!
