Anti-Alias Problem With Openjdk6

There was a previous thread on this same topic, but the thread was marked solved and the solution given doesn't seem to be working anymore. I did post in the thread, but it did not get any attention so here is the direct quote of what I had posted in the other thread.

This gave me a headache too a couple of weeks ago, but i managed to find a solution. I downloaded the sources with abs and found a patch file called aatext_by_default.diff. Without this patch the awt.useSystemAAFontSetting parameter will be effective again. Rebuild openjdk6 with this PKGBUILD wich ignores the patch. After that you can use the -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSetting=lcd parameter when running java to enable AA or export it as bohoomil suggested.

I'm aware this is solved, but I am having the same issue and have questions about the solution. Is it because of the extra dependencies that allow openjdk6 to ignore the patch? These extra packages are xalan-java, apache-ant, rhino, cpio.

edit: just ran into a failure in build() 10 minutes into compiling with the edited PKGBUILD...

edit2: just ran into another failure in build() around the same time with just a straight up copy and paste from the abs. What?
Here is the last little bit of the output:
