I don't  know why but it  seems that the  ant script does not  set the
java_home variable. You can add these lines in the /usr/bin/ant file:

# you already have this line
#!/bin/sh

# add these 4 lines
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then
  JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/j2sdk1.3"
fi
export JAVA_HOME

# OK leave the rest of the file

# Load default settings from config file (if it exists)
if [ -f "$HOME/.antrc" ]; then
  . "$HOME/.antrc"
fi

Hope it helps. Sorry for the delay.
