There is a discrepancy in the Ant vs make builds.

The Ant build fails:

BUILD FAILED

It is also strange that with the Make build I don't see those warnings.
 And when I add --warn-undefined-variable to the Ant build I get more
warnings that I don't see with Make.

I'm guessing that the problem is earlier in the build.
