There are many Debian packages of both Java applications and libraries. These may serve as an good starting point, as it can serve as an example for making a new Debian package. A good start would be to check out the pkg-java project on Alioth: http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/. Note that there are many ways to make a Debian package, making use of Ant or Makefiles does not really matter. But, some tips for good practice are given on the pkg-java page: http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/developers.html#rules and http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/building.html.
