So libant1.6 is supported, but not ant. Interesting. Although the
former is useless without the latter.

And:
http://ant.apache.org/license.html

I understand that I have to download the jdk from sun and all that,
but that shouldn't stop other opensource java projects from being
supported.

I am not trying to start a big java-nonfree-license debate. I am just
wondering why a package supported in debian is not available in
ubuntu..
