I was trying to learn Apache Ant.
Have you read the instructions?
I got the following information.
i)Ant is a build tool, it helps to create .exe file.
Wrong. It is a build tool, but it is not to build an EXE file.
ii) Compiling is a subtask of building.
Now,
I am confused with few questions.
I was exploring the "Ant build" in Eclipse.
I could create one "build.xml" and could run successfully.
The questions are:
i) May I have to write the the "build.xml" or a build file everytime I w=
ant to build a project?
No, but every time you create a project or change how it builds you will ne=
ed to add or modify
the build.xml.
Can't it be done automatic, means the generation of the .xml file?
Not really. You start with a standard build.xml and modify it.
... [snip] ...
That is okay. I could place ant properly my machine can recognize ant in =
command prompt. Other than this as Sujit suggested I could run Lingpipe dem=
o from command prompt. As you are kindly teaching me let me learn it too. I=
tried it but got the following error, I am trying still let me see where I=
land tomorrow evening.

That's not how you invoke Ant. Read the instructions.
Or type "ant --help" or "ant -h" or "man ant" at the command line.
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\=
jre7\lib\tools.jar
That's not a JDK. Install the JDK. Ant will not work with only the JRE. You=
cannot build
Java files with only the JRE. This is explained on the Java site. You shoul=
d read the instructions.

You need to fix your broken lines in your posts.
BUILD FAILED
Target "build.xml" does not exist in the project "Alias-i LingPipe".
Yes. You did not invoke Ant correctly.
