Bug #892: Java ant not usable on debian woody

Terrell Larson (terr(at)terralogic(dot)net) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Java ant not usable on debian woody

Long Description
The installer fails with a message that ANT is not available.

Note: I wrote a script to do the install so that I know exactly what options I configured in. See below. If you wish to include this with the package I'll be happy to release it under the GPL or as your people may advise. I'd like a credit for writing it - that is all.

This installation will be a test database probably with debugging info included. I'll probably install more than one configuration.

=========== make ============
You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file
'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
