What you'd want to do is build an rpm with a spec file, and in that spec file call on ant. I've found this link to be quite helpful. http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackagingHints though it doesn't deal specifically with Ant it is still a good resource. I do use ant to build java packages with rpmbuild. -Mike
