"it"? I am willing to help if you are specific about what happens (exact
commands run and error messages).

So what happened when you did what?

The JPackage.org skeleton is not Fedora release specific. Though you may
not follow the howto like a slave.

"yum localinstall" installs the RPMs given with that command and will
auto-resolve dependencies and fetch additional needed RPMs if they are
provided by the configured repositories.

How did you install it? If you installed ant using yum with JPackage.org
configured, then I see no need to uninstall ant.

That is kind of a question where I can hardly say yes or no. Feel free
to post your yum repo setup.
