Ant is used in class to wrap command lines and encapsulate the building of classpaths for stand-alone applications. Just download and add Ant to your PATH here.
The latest version of Ant is 1.9.4. The latest version I have tested with is 1.8.4. Until told otherwise, please download and configure the 1.8.4 version from the Ant archive until I get a chance to try things with the newer release.
