I can take the build.xml file from one of the Java library packages that 
will hopefully move to main soon and include some Java classes that get 
compiled. This will require a lot of Java packages to run, however.

Unfortunately there's currently no free JVM that can run Ant. Kaffe 1.1 
will work, but it has not been uploaded yet by its maintainer. Yesterday 
I have announced that I'll NMU Kaffe 1.1 next Monday if the maintainer 
does not upload until then. Then we'll start to move Ant and the other 
Java packages to main.
