Place the following into your .vimrc/_vimrc:
autocmd BufRead *.java compiler ant
Now when you edit .java files and want to compile them using the default
ant target, you simply type the following command from the editor:
:mak
If you want to invoke a non-default target, simply execute it using the
following command:
:!ant othertarget
This command simply interacts with the shell. If your $PWD isn't where
your build.xml file is located, then you'll have to pass that file to
ant as a parameter.
This is how I use ant with Vim, and it doesn't require any plugins.
Also, it's very effective and easy to use.
Also, you might want to try the following command:
:h quickfix
Please note that this works on both Windows and Linux.
HTH!

P.S. I control my $PWD variable using the Project plugin, which is
something that you might want to look into if you're doing a lot of Java
development using Vim.
