This is probably the best discussion list.  There isn't an
ANTS-specific list at this time.  Are you using the new ANTS2.0?

It should work.  What sort of error are you seeing?  I haven't tried
it, mind you.

You should just have a bunch of application lines in it...

Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean by "from a Java application".  The
ants.core.ConfigurationManager is the code that parses the
"application" command.  It then calls the PrimordialNode.start()
method which just calls fireUpNewAppFlow(AppConfig a) for each
applicaiton.  You could probably expose the fireUpNewAppFlow method to 
Applications.

What are you trying to accomplish?  Are you sure you want to start
multiple applications and not just multiple protocols?
