+BuildRequires: java-devel [>= specific_version]
+BuildRequires:  jpackage-utils
+
+These are satisfied by *any* java compiler, however we want packages to
+be always built by a specific compiler.
+
+On Mandriva we solved this by replacing "BuildRequires: java-devel" with
+"BuildRequires: java-rpmbuild" which is used to pull the "main" java
+compiler (openjdk on all archs where it is supported, gcj/ecj on others).
+
+BuildRequires: ant
+...
+%build
+...
+ant
+
+
+Replace "ant" with "%ant". This ensures ant is called with the specific
+java compiler as mentioned above.
+
+
+Also, the policy should mention %jar, %java, %javac, %javadoc,
+%java_home that should be used when those tools/paths are needed.

+
+Yes.
+
+MDV wiki has something on those, but not much indeed:
