Ant - Configuration

Add the /bin directory of Ant to your PATH and you should be good to go.
For example, my bin is here: C:\Program Files\ant\apache-ant-1.8.1\bin

Next, create a JAVA_HOME environment variable and set it to the location of your JDK.
For example, my JAVA_HOME looks like this:

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21

This tells Ant where to find Java compiler.
