Erik, ant.install is set in the build.[sh|bat] files. There are occasionally problems trying to install ant with ant since you are overwriting the jar file you are using. If a class is needed after the jar file has been overwritten, it cannot be read from the new jar.
The build script will set ANT_HOME to the build area and run ant from the files in the build area allowing it to safely write into the real ANT_HOME area.
