+apache-ant uses `javac` and friends to compile java projects.
+If you use the stock 'gcc-java' package, then you will need to export the
+JAVA_HOME environment variable, and make it point to the Java5 run-time
+provided by the GNU Compiler Collection, e.g.:
+
+ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm (for Slackware, 32-bit)
+
+or:
+
+ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm (for Slackware64)
+
+If you need a more recent Java run-time, then any of the jdk or openjdk
+packages from slackbuilds.org will work just fine.
