These are all packages in currently in Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=3Dlibcommons

Checking the unstable distribution (the most recently updated package),
these are the packages I saw still depending on ant to build
(Build-Depends):

* libcommons-cli-java 1.3.1-2:
https://sources.debian.net/src/libcommons-cli-java/1.3.1-2/debian/control/

Double check would be good, since I could missed any. I think most are old
