What might be wrong?
If you check lucene/BUILD.txt in your source, it says to use ant 1.7.1
or later, but not 1.8.x. This is from a recent trunk checkout:
Basic steps:
0) Install JDK 1.6 (or greater), Ant 1.7.1+ (not 1.6.x, not 1.8.x)
1) Download Lucene from Apache and unpack it
2) Connect to the top-level of your Lucene installation
3) Install JavaCC (optional)
4) Run ant
A previous message on the mailing list about the missing license
messages (from 2012-02-23) says that some work has been done to get it
working with ant 1.8, but it's not done yet. Can you downgrade or
install the older release in an alternate location?
It looks like ant 1.8 has been out for two years, so newer operating
systems are going to be shipping with it and it may become difficult to
get the older ant release. I know from my own systems that CentOS/RHEL
6 is still using ant 1.7.1.
