That=E2=80=99s great! With the latest version of the =E2=80=9Cant-build-= system=E2=80=9D (patch will be sent out today) you can just do (arguments `(#:jdk ,icedtea-8 #:ant ,some-other-ant)) to specify a different package for Ant or the JDK. You would not need to override the value of =E2=80=9Cicedtea=E2=80=9D (which is set to =E2=80= =9Cicedtea-7=E2=80=9D for now as this is the latest supported release). ~~ Ricardo
