How are you invoking ant? If you type
ant build
at the command prompt, you will likely receive the message 'Target `build'
does not exist in this project.' because the default build.xml file does
not contain the line <target name="build">.
You should be invoking ant by simply typing
ant
at the command prompt. Ant will search the current directory for a file
called build.xml by default, parse any <target> tags it finds, resolve any
dependencies which may exist among those targets, and execute those
targets.
Hope this helps.

Please respond to
"Ant Users List"
I just realized 'build failed' is a generic message. Here are some lines
from the log file:
BUILD FAILED
Target `build' does not exist in this project.
void org.apache.tools.ant.Project.tsort(java.lang.String,
java.util.Hashtable, java.util.Hashtable, java.util.Stack,
java.util.Vector)
java.util.Vector org.apache.tools.ant.Project.topoSort(java.lang.String,
java.util.Hashtable)
void org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(java.lang.String)
void org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(java.util.Vector)
void org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(java.lang.ClassLoader)
void org.apache.tools.ant.Main.start(java.lang.String[],
java.util.Properties, java.lang.ClassLoader)
void org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(java.lang.String[])

Look at the top of build.xml and take a look at the property called 'build'
