The Ant tasks for Loom are in the Loom maven-sar plugin
(which extend GenerateClassDescriptorsTask)

If you want to use Ant in place of Maven, look at:

- project.xml
http://cvs.codehaus.org/viewcvs.cgi/jcontainer/loom/plugins/maven-sar/project.xml?root=jcontainer&view=markup
for the dependencies it uses (your metaclass jar is not up-to-date, 
although I'm not sure it is the cause) and include those in your Ant 
classpath.

- plugin.jelly
http://cvs.codehaus.org/viewcvs.cgi/jcontainer/loom/plugins/maven-sar/plugin.jelly?root=jcontainer&view=markup
which contains the Ant commands used by the plugin.

For ${plugin.dir} pathelement replace the maven-sar-plugin-1.0-dev.jar 
which can be found on http://dist.codehaus.org/loom/plugins

For the other elements, replace the corresponding dependencies found in 
the project.xml

And yes - the output is .binary files.
