Ant provides cleanup

[Aleksandar Kurtakov]

Ant was shipping with virtual provides for certain dead subpackages for few years already.
As software collections are more and more common nowadays it was high time to drop them so
collections don't interfere with base platform.
The two most problems packages might see FTBFS due to no longer available ant-trax and/or
ant-nodeps - both were merged into main ant.jar since version 1.8.2 (December 27th, 2010).
If your package built just fine up to now but fails due to these changes the fix should be
just replacing BuildRequires: ant-[nodeps,trax] with BuildRequires: ant.
P.S. If you see a problem but you don't have the time or power to change it - let me
know and I'll use my proven packager to fix it.

According to my query there are more than 40 packages affected by
removal of these provides, so it's probably better if we automatically
migrate Requires/BuildRequires from ant-{trax,nodeps} to ant.

Requires anx-trax:
    (none)

BuildRequires ant-trax:
    bsh
    freemind
    jing-trang
    jna
    nailgun
    netbeans-platform
    saxpath
    xmlunit

Requires ant-nodeps:
    lancet

BuildRequires ant-nodeps:
    CardManager
    appframework
    axis
    batik
    beansbinding
    bluecove
    bolzplatz2006
    cambozola
    clapham
    diveintopython
    freecol
    freemarker
    freemind
    gridengine
    guava
    ice
    jaffl
    java-1.7.0-openjdk
    java-service-wrapper
    javahelp2
    jffi
    jna
    jnr-netdb
    jpanoramamaker
    libbase
    libfonts
    libformula
    libloader
    librepository
    libserializer
    maven-doxia
    maven-gpg-plugin
    netbeans-javaparser
    netbeans-svnclientadapter
    opengrok
    pentaho-libxml
    ritopt
    skinlf
    swingx
    tomcat
    tuxguitar

FWIW - It would also help with RHEL compatibility.

I've fixed gridengine,

I agree with you. But doing smth that early in the release cycle should make people look
at their specs and usually this means fixing more than that. So let's give some time
to maintainers to fix their stuff.  Probably fix whatever is left once F-19 is out ?

According to maven central, the last versions were actually almost a
year before what you said:

ant-trax: 1.8.0, Feb 2010
ant-nodeps: 1.8.1, Apr 2010

You right David,
The date I used was the one of the first release that didn't had both jars.
