I thought the build.bat was needed to compile the XML libraries etc. into a solid ANT environment, but yes it seems to work, will do some ANT building. Will let you know of my progress and listening to the posts.

For building your own projects you dont need that file. Just start Ant with your buildfile ProjectDir> ant -f myBuildFile.xml or with common buildfile name build.xml ProjectDir> ant Why do you think you need that?
