Indeed. :-) Would be best to get rid of them.

By launcher scripts, do you mean the ‘ant’ command? I suppose it’s
enough to have one of them, and the Bash version is probably the one
with the smallest disk space footprint, no?

Since Ant is generally used via the ‘ant’ command (AIUI), what about
wrapping that command so that ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set
appropriately?
Thanks,
