If I'm not mistaken, the standard is to have build.xml at the root of
your project directory:

<project_dir>/
  build.xml
  classes/
  src/
  test/

This way everything is available from "." inside build.xml. I'm not
necessarily recommending you change the location of your build.xml as
this might be a lot of work if you have many large projects, but it is
probably the source of the confusion.

Thanks all!. Actually I was unnecessaryli confused.
The thing was we had definition like this
=20
<property name=3D"build.dir" value=3D"${basedir}_build">
....
<target name=3D"init"
  <mkdir dir=3D"${build.dir}"/>
...
=20
Our build file is under <project_dir>/src directory. Above file was in
src dir and used to create a build dir <project_dir>/src_build/...
=20
A sibling of src dir.=20
=20
This was done i was told because if we create build dir inside srcdir
like src/build/classes  each ant call used to take a lot of time. When
build dir was made sibling the ant calls were too fast and lot of
improvement in the build time.

Thanks,
Unmesh

(From the ant manual:)

basedir =3D
the base directory from which all path calculations are done. This=20
attribute might be overridden by setting the "basedir" property=20
beforehand. When this is done, it must be omitted in the project tag. If

neither the attribute nor the property have been set, the parent=20
directory of the buildfile will be used.
