Done that about twenty months ago (JUnit's own build file still spawns
<java> to run the TextUI test runner, you know).

And then there is this backwards compatibility issue ...

Assume we move <junit> to JUnit and release Ant 1.6 without it.
People who upgrade to 1.6 will suddenly be without this task, they'd
be forced to upgrade their JUnit as well (to get a version with that
task) - which also means that there has to be a new release of JUnit
with that task before we could release Ant 1.6.
