Yeh. I think this is the hardest thing about java -- the build process.
There are plenty of books explaing OOP theory, or books on ANT, but
little that I've found between the two.

Right now I'm actually using rake tasks (ruby) which is only mildly
awkward but easier for me to understand than ANT:

BTW, you should be able to build on the command line without using so
many cd (change directories). And you can use relative paths, you don't
need the full path. But this is not a big deal, it should be seldom
that you need actually do it by hand. (I did this as an exercise for
myself to see if I remember it all. I only made a couple of mistakes.
:D)

Thanks :)
