| You generally don't build ant, just install it. How did you install it? blog |

| Do you have a build.xml file for your project? I believe this is what ant searches for by default. blog |

| Are you sure you even need ant then? Eclipse does a perfectly serviceable job of building your projects by itself. Custom build tools like ant and maven can be overkill for lone developers, particularly inexperienced ones. Not to say that they don't have advantages, just that they also bring complexity. You can find sample build.xml files online, which you can adapt to your own project's needs. blog |

| You don't need ant, no. Why do you want to use it? Technologies like ant have trade offs. You need to think about what are the pros and cons of using ant to build your project. If you are a beginner, then I'd probably advise you to stick to eclipse's internal builder for the time being. blog |
