Solved my own problem. I installed the RPM package ant-nodeps
yum install ant-nodeps
As it turns out it does in fact install into the /usr/share/java/ant
directory instead of /usr/share/ant/lib directory as one would expect.

I have an Openbravo build process that uses regexp. We have installed
Ant 1.7.1 and it is running on CentOS 5. We had to install from
JPackage in order to get the latest Ant release. The problem that we
are running into is that the script gets the following exception when
run:
/tmp/build.xml:4: No supported regular expression matcher found:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpMatcher
I found that I needed the ant-contrib package but jpackage doesn't have
a current version that supports 1.7.x so I tried to chase down the
specific jar. What I found was that it requires the
ant-nodeps-1.7.1.jar which I was able to find and download. I confirmed
that the class in question is in the jar:
unzip -l /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-nodeps-1.7.1.jar | grep
Jdk14RegexpMatcher
2673 06-27-08 05:03
org/apache/tools/ant/util/regexp/Jdk14RegexpMatcher.class
I tried placing the jar into the $ANT_HOME/lib directory and have done
the 'ant -diagnostics' which now shows the jar in the class path:
ant -diagnostics | grep class.path
java.class.path :
/usr/share/java/ant.jar:/usr/share/java/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java
/jaxp_parser_impl.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis.jar:/usr/java/jdk
1.6.0_11/lib/tools.jar:/usr/share/ant:/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-nodeps-1.7.
1.jar
sun.boot.class.path :

1.6.0_11/jre/lib/charsets.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_11/jre/classes
ant.library.dir : /usr/share/ant/lib
I read where ant "lies" about jars in http://blog.eflow.org/archives/22
and tried moving the jar to the /usr/share/java and /usr/share/java/ant
directories but got the same results. I also tried the -lib switch when
running ant. None of these steps worked.
