[Anthill] Can't get anthill-example to build

[Eric Minick]

David,

Things that don't work in Anthill but do work from the command line are 
almost always user permission / settings related. Putting it on the path 
is a good approach. If you are running Tomcat as a service, the default 
user has some pretty bad settings. You might want to change the user in 
the windows services manager.

While you're still trying to get a feeling for the tool, it might just 
make sense to run Tomcat from the batch file. That way you know it's got 
the same environment as you do.
