You have probably installed Ant from an RPM rather than an Apache
distribution, right?  If so, it is quite possible the wrapper shell
script is different from the one we have written.

"Stock Ant" will use JAVA_HOME and fall back to PATH if JAVA_HOME is
absent.

At least most of the time.  There is some special handling in the
wrapper script that reads in /etc/ant.conf if ANT_HOME is not set or is
set to /usr/share/ant.  This could be altering your environment, in
particular it could enable the so-called rpm-mode which takes a
different approach to locating the JDK (it uses
/usr/share/java-utils/java-functions and I don't have any idea what this
uses to locate the JDK).

You can run "ant --noconfig" which disables rpm-mode but also prevents
Ant from reading ~/.ant/ant.conf and ~/.antrc - but first you may want
to verify the ant shell script is the same as the one you'd get from the
ASF - otherwise there is little we can do to help.
