Future of the task
I was reading though the apt documentation, and it begins by saying that
as of Java 1.6, apt may be obsolete and its functions incorporated into
javac. Does this mean that the apt task will also be merged into the
javac task?

"Java 1.2" and "Java 1.5" I guess you meant.
Note that although JDK 6's javac does run annotation processors
automatically (no need for a separate tool), it does *not* accept those
written against the semi-official apt API in JDK 5.

Unlikely.
We still support Ant 1.2, so we will certainly be supporting Ant 1.5
for a long time, which requires a separate apt task. In fact we've
improved the apt task in Ant 1.7.0.
