Yes, that?s what wished in Bug 17659. But its rejected, sorry -
marked as "WONTFIX" = "The problem described is a bug which will never be
fixed.".

So good luck on writing and let us know ;-)
Maybe Leos Literak (Reporter of that bug) will help you.

More along the lines of your second option.
But not quite...

During development (die-hard Xemacs) I  always iterate around
"ant clean"
"ant compile"
"ant jar"

etc. to call my targets as needed.

In a shell mode, I would just need to type
%ant shell>clean
%ant shell>compile
%ant shell>jar

with the MAIN benefit of :
1)not having to wait 3 days for a Jvm to start each time
2)A homogenous env instead of arsing about with Cygwin, cmd.exe, Unix
shells etc.
3)It could easily extend and embrace cvs commands, Windows/Unix style
directory navigation etc.
