apache-ant @1.10.x: Ant 1.10 requires Java 8

Reported by: sideeffect42 (Dennis Camera) Owned by: sideeffect42 (Dennis Camera)

Port: apache-ant

Description

Apache Ant 1.10 requires Java 8 which is not available on older versions of Mac OS X.

When Java 8 is not available Ant 1.9.x should be installed instead (runs on Java 5 or higher).
If that's not possible to detect, there should be separate ports.

If you want to submit a pull request that branches the apache-ant for 1.9.x into a new apache-ant-1.9 port I'll submit it.

Replying to blair:

Please do...I have older apps that still require Java 1.6. Thank you.
