java-programmer, Need help getting ant to run I'm running Windows ME. I downloaded the binary distribution of ant from
http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

I installed as directed. My path and ant_home variables seem to be set
correctly. When I try to run it by entering "ant -v", I get the following
message:

Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

I searched for the file build.xml and it indeed does not exist. I'm sure
I'm just missing something really dumb and obvious, but please help me
anyway!

Thanks,
Maxine

What did you expect it to do?

Sorry, it took me a while to figure out how it was supposed to work. I've
got it now.
