running commands in Cygwin
I want to run the 'clear' command that is in my path in Cygwin (and in
the cmd.exe environment) in an Ant script to clear the output on my
console. Not sure if this is possible or not but any ideas?

If you run your build script from within rxvt rather than from with
cmd.exe, it will clear the screen when the clear application is
executed. It does mean using a full shell environment rather than the
NT command line, but (IMHO) it's a lot nicer anyway!

yeah, I'd like to not have tin instantiate Ant twice if I can avoid it.

Well one option to do this
ant clean && clear && ant under-control
It does mean any init steps would be executed twice though.

I want do do it after a clean operation in my ant script so I can go:
ant clean clear under-control
and get rid of the output from the clean command before running the build.

Normally for this I do:
clear && ant
when calling ant -- that way I can clear the screen -- but only if I
want to (as occasionally I might not want to clear up the screen).
If you are using cmd.exe, you'd be better off running cls anyway as it's faster!
