  Ant uses itself to build it, doe's not it ?
Just build depenedency as usual , copy it to Ant's Lib and build Ant as usual.
I don't see any problems in this case.

No - at least not a different version than the one you are building.

Ant uses javac to compile a very basic version of its latest code and
then builds itself using this version.

It is rather common that you can not build Ant with the version that
is just one commit away as build.xml already uses the feature just
committed.
