I've been meaning to read this thread and post this code for,
what, three weeks. ;-) Anyway, I've attached some modified JDE
code that we use to locate the build.xml file and run ant, fwiw.

We rebind C-c C-v C-b in JDE to run vizdom-build. In practice,
however, I usually invoke compile directly once I've used
vizdom-build to generate the right command line for compile. So I
only use vizdom-build when I switch to another project.
