Build progressing...

[Kelly O'Hair]

Make sure you can run 'ant -version', and also try:

export JAVA_HOME=/home/neale/icedtea6-1.4.1/bootstrap/jdk1.6.0
ant -version

If that doesn't work, then you need to track that down.

I usually download my own ant 1.7.0 in my home directory and use that.
I've had problems with the ant's placed in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin,
I think the ant startup script gets confused sometimes when it doesn't
live in it's own 'home' location.
