I'm more concerned about having to use different logging abstractions, one for Ant and one for commons logging and that's the problem that I've tried to solve. Regards.

I dont think Ant has a commons-logging logger (at least it is not documented), but there is nothing to stop anyone writing one. Ant's logging is limited. It was good at the time, but its inefficient, and suspected of causing build delays on multicore systems. Trouble is, how do we cut it out and stick in something new? Without adding extra dependencies? Use java.util.logging? Ouch. This works -but if you ever tell ant to log through commons-logging you are going to be in recursively deep trouble.
