I am used to invoking ANT by just typing “ant params” at the command line and 
in the ant folder I have what finder describes as “Unix Executable File”.

From what your saying I assume I can invoke it by typing java -jar xxxxxxxxxx 
params but I’m not familiar with that approach.

I guess I’m asking about the binary executable with invokes the java are and 
runs the .jars
