I am pretty sure the correct answer is an external build. I think it
might come with the dev tools install. Mine is in /Developer/Java/
Ant and I am pretty sure that I did not install it there. Perhaps
when you installed it externally you confused OS X with what was
already there. Also compare to this:
saskatoon:~ chuck$ which ant
/usr/bin/ant
The /usr/bin/ant script is fairly readable, perhaps you can determine
from it what is not setup right.

If you, please let us know. We would like to document this for the
future. I will probably slap my forehead when I find out, I am
feeling frazzled this week.

I am happy to hear that it is working out for you. Eclipse and
WOLips is HUGE, so pace yourself. We will be more than happy to have
you contribute on the project once you are solid ground.
