I don't know why PATH is set at all in the environment, but that leads to
interesting failures, because ant will use the java binary found in PATH. On
most distributions /usr/bin/java is managed as an alternative, so this may point
to any jvm. The ant shell script varies depending on the distribution. on Ubuntu
you can specify the jvm used by JAVACMD, or by setting JAVA_HOME. Andrew pointed
 out that the Gentoo script behaves else. IMO the safest way to ensure that the
bootstrap java is used is to add the bootstrap directory to PATH.
