-------------------------------------
       Resolution: Not A Problem
         Assignee: James E. King III
    Fix Version/s: 1.0

Thanks for the analysis.  Additionalliy I found:

Summary:
  * for lib/xml we currently require Java when we don't need it as build.xml doesn't use java.
  * all other cases indicate we need Java and Ant for it to work
  * easiest thing to do is leave it alone, I agree.

> Gradle is now the build tool for the Java library.  At one point, it may have been Apache Ant.  Review if Apache Ant is still required for Thrift and remove it if it no longer is.
