The default error messages don't really add that much to be
honest. Its mostly obvious what task the error is coming from by its
content.
Recent version of the JDE come with explicit support for
launching ant as a build tool. Its sets up the various options that
you need using JDE's standard customisation procedure. If you do not
have a version which does this its probably worth getting.
