I don't know how to compile with ant, however, when I run (under
windows) the built.bat command, I get this:

C:\Java\Projects\dsam\firebird\client-java\src\build>ANT
-Djavax.xml.parsers.Do
cumentBuilderFactory="org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl"
-Djavax
.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory="org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl"
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

compile-classes:

I just checked out the source from cvs an hour ago, and I'm wanting to
migrate from using the InterClient/InterServer method to a more native
one. Help?? I'm hoping I can build this into a jar so that I can easily
include it into my various java projects under netbeans.
