Sorry if this sounds naive I want to use the ?Freemarker ANT task to generate an HTML representation for my XML based on a template. However I want to do this using my program on the fly, which means that I must be able to call the ANT task from inside my Java program.

Can we call an ANT task from a Java Program or JSP?

In Ant documentation that ships with it, refer to the section
'Using Ant Tasks Outside of Ant'. We have used some ant tasks from within our java code and its very easy to use.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
