    I did install ant outside of eclipse just recently, trying it both
    ways and no luck either way. It looks like you can set the paths in
    the project preferences for ant home -- should I be using the
    internal ant libraries in Eclipse, or an external build?

    Thanks for the look-see. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can
    come up with a solution.

    That's awesome to hear. I'm really liking Eclipse so far, and I think
    I might like it a bunch more than XCode (the java support is soooo
    much nicer). Once I get everything working, I know I'm gonna be
    really happy. I'll do my best not to waste anyone's time, and
    hopefully I might even be able to contribute back to the project once
    I get my bearings.
