It was the bug of Kaffe's java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream.
I fixed it. Ant 1.3 may work with current Kaffe.

No, Ant is distributed under Apache Lisence(BSD style).
So, Ant should not go non-free but contrib.
BTW, I fixed Ant 1.3 for obsolete Kaffe and send a patch to Ant
developers. It have been comitted already. And I made my Ant 1.3
package for Kaffe. You can use my Ant at following apt-line.

* Cautuion, my ant package isn't included Debian changelog and
README.
Don't forget, we can modify and distribute these software freely;)
