Yeah, it would be tough to convert those to use <java>. The benefit of
the <xslt> task in this respect is that it doesn't pass in the param if
the variable in the if attr is not set. That way you get to use the
defaults set in the xslt. But you could just most of the params when
converting to a <java> task and only pass in the params you care
about/intend to set.
