I have just made these changes to the ant-build-system (see attached
patch).  Can you combine this with your changes and push them to
“staging”?

It is true that all of Java in Guix is only about 160 packages, but this
affects the three JDK packages, which take a long time to build.  It
also re-enables tests for packages whose test failures were previously
ignored by accident.

So I expect some minor breakage, which I would like to leave out of
master.
