I'll qualify Owen's "yes" with "yes provided your system is close enough

-if your DNS or /etc/hosts is a mess; don't be surprised when things fail
-if you are running JRocket JVM, you need to switch to a different

-there may be other installation-specific issues which you get to debug.
While I'm here, FYI: I'm working on an IDE agnostic development environment
HOWTO on the wiki. Take a look and contribute what you can:

-JPackage ant distros don't ship with a lot of ant; usually better to
install a version of apache.org, or, if you do want rpm/deb managed ant
to ask for ant-* to get the extra bits (which is all designed to avoid a
cycle in the dependency graph), and clearly junit too.
-"ant diagnostics" is your tool for auditing Ant installations.
-it might be best to put the runtime errors into the existing
troubleshooting page
