Hello Ramakanth, you need to download and install somewhere on your hard disk a binary version of ant to be able to execute this first step.
Once you have done this, you should do this : 1 - cd into the directory containing the source version of ant 2 - run this command<ant_install_dir>/bin/ant -Ddest=optional -f fetch.xml on Windows <ant_install_dir>\bin\ant -Ddest=optional -f fetch.xml what this does is copy the jars which are used by the build process of ant into the directory lib/optional.
