[Anthill] Change working directory for build

[Varban]

You can try and use the dir parameter for you java task in the ant script. 
Combined with the fork option, this should force the java process to be 
started in the location that you point to and you could use the current 
working directory where the ant script was started.
Here is a link to the ant manual for the java task:

http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/java.html

You should be able to get the current directory using ${basedir} within your 
build script.

Varban
