Angre, It sounds like there is more to this than compiling Lucene :) Look inside those jars to see if that is compiled code (.class files). If you don't know how to do that you need to learn how to use jar tool. If you have .class files in there, you don't need to compile anything, just put that lucene jar (or both, if you want) in your CLASSPATH.
Also, build.xml doesn't need to go in Ant's bin folder - you need to figure out how to run Ant (i.e. this is not a Lucene issue).
