Sure! Apache Ant is an Apache library which I know is used widely. The version we rely on might be a bit outdated or not available on ibiblio for some reason, and I know that the canonical Maven repository has to have it - it contains all versions of all Apache released artifacts.
I could also check it was there by using mvnrepository.com. I hope that helps.
