While I a bit understand your confusion, I do not really understand what
to tell you more than what I pointed out with the URLs.

http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/JPackage_Java_for_FC4#Switching_between_java_implementations

If you read that part carefully you see how to switch to the j2re you
installed in parallel to the libgcj:

alternatives --config java

So switch to Sun's j2re and ant should be fine.
