Ant is required to build some java-stuff, and was so before.

junit is not required for building, but for running tests after the build.

So given you have ant installed, as you could build before, the
interesting question is: Why can't configure find it.

Or even: As ant can be downloaded as part of download: Why isn't it
falling back to that?
