I think you can use the scriptdef task to do this. You can write a
script within the scriptdef object to access the methods of the project object.
The project object has methods to list the targets defined under the project,
which you can use to test if a given target exists.

I am not sure if its a good idea to do System.exit(0), as that will terminate

With ant it is possible to invoke nested builds using the subant task.
In case of nested builds we may want one of the nested builds to succeed
immediately and proceed with rest of tasks in the outer build.

You are right. From the stacktrace I see that ant is indeed able to find the
tomcat tasks.
I think you should set the url property to "http://localhost:8080/manager";
instead of "http://localhost:8080/manager/html";

You need to have catalina-ant.jar in your classpath as this jar contains the
tasks to manage the tomcat server.
you can either copy this jar to the ant/lib directory or use the -lib
command-line argument to specify the folder under which it is located.
Hope this helps you :)

The reason for the behavior is because the batch file runs in a separate
process. To prevent this behavior, instead of executing the batch file from the
main build.xml, you can directly invoke the generated build.xml from the main
