Tim commented on THRIFT-1787:
-----------------------------
You don't need to install a different version of java. Just `sudo apt-get
install ant`. By the way it would be nice if when you run ./configure
--with-java it would stop with an error when a configure check that is required
for java fails. Otherwise --with-java is fairly useless.
