Hi Eric,
I don't know anything about ANT, but ant.bat in this case looks to be a
DOS/Windows "batch file". (A batch file is a script made or DOS or
Windows).
It's *definitely* not going to do anything productive when run on a
RedHat Linux (aka Non-DOS/Non-Windows) system.
Don't know if this info is helpful, but hope it is.
:)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
