  I've got JDEE 2.3.4 and Apache Ant 1.5.  The problem I was having was
  that I'd get this error message whenever I tried to do C-c C-v C-b
  (i.e. build my project using ant):

<pre>
  ant -buildfile 'c:/Tools/src/spiderutil/build.xml' -emacs
  Buildfile: 'c:\Tools\src\spiderutil\build.xml' does not exist!
  Build failed

  Compilation finished at Tue Dec 07 11:22:24

  Anyhow, after some poking around, I discovered 
  <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.jdee/3910/match=+buildfile+exist">this post</a> 
  (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.jdee/3910/match=+buildfile+exist) 
  which helped me fix my issue.  I went into jde-ant.el and removed two
  instances of "delimiter" and now everything works super duper.
