NEWBIE: problem initially says "Content is not allowed in prolog"

["P.S.Mahesh" <ps...@cisco.com>]

Hi folks,

I just downloaded ant. Installed it, wrote a sample build.xml and then tried
to run it when this error came. Can you kindly tell me where I can start
correcting it.

C:\>ant -verbose
Apache Ant version 1.5.1 compiled on October 2 2002
Buildfile: build.xml
Detected Java version: 1.1 in: c:\jdk1.1.8
Detected OS: Windows NT
parsing buildfile build.xml with URI = file:C://build.xml

BUILD FAILED
file:C://build.xml:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

At a guess, I'd say it is unhappy with the build.xml, hinting it is not
valid XML.
