please do fix it but i do not know how to do this on windows ... however 
this has really nothing to do with changing build.xml to work directly 
with ANT as when you compile with ANT you always do it from project top 
level directory. this can only matter when you run java programs?

i have modified build.xml so it can work directly with ant and tested it 
with ANT 1.5.2.

for hassle free building and running i would still recommend using build 
and run scripts (build.sh,build.bat,run.sh,run.bat) but for developers 
that know exactly what they need they can use now ant directly and 
classpath script to set classpath to execute java programs (such s 
samples etc.)

Peter and Ant: please take a look and do any other modifications if 
necessary.

also could somebody fix names of JAR files that have no version number 
like saaj and jaxrpc, commons logging and discovery (preferably the 
person who put them into lib/ and knows what versions they are...)? that 
can bite us later when revised jaxrpc/saaj versions are available.

thanks,

alek
