Problems building

[Kevin Rushforth]

It looks like you've stumbled on one of the oddities of our build system.

I think this is the problem.

If you are building on Windows with a 64-bit JDK, you need to specify 
"ant -Dbuild.arch=x64 ..." (now one might ask why we don't either set 
this automatically, or at least do an early check and abort with an 
informative error message, but we currently don't; the gradle build will 
do this automatically).
