Where is the build.xml? Your command prompt should be working in the directory where the build.xml file is for ant to find it. So, after you unzipped the velocity-tools distribution, go to the root directory of it and then type the ant command(s).

Yes, I've looked through that tutorial, but I can't get through it. It says "Build the Velocity Tools jar and the "simple" example by typing: ant example.simple" and in the readme file it says "To build the project, start ant in the root directory of the project: > ant". However, when I do either of these, all I ever get is "Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed". I'm typing these commands in cmd.exe and I've tried it in the directory velocity-tools-1.2, velocity-tools-1.2\examples, and a few other things. My velocity-tools-1.2 directory is inside the velocity directory. Is that bad? What's the problem?

Download the subproject "Velocity Tools". Look for the tutorial on using ""VelocityViewServlet" and follow that.
