Re: Getting Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! and Build failed

Its is not entirely clear what problem is that you are facing.

ant -version prints the version of ANT in the PATH.
ant -v executes default target of build.xml in the current dir in 
"verbose" mode. In this case if there is no build.xml in the current 
directory you will see messages like

build.xml does not exist! 
Build failed


You need a build.xml to invoke ANT.
