ntvdm is a process that runs win16 apps, it starts when the first win16 
app is run, then hangs around. I would be really surprised by Ant (or 
java) having anything to with this, unless ANT.BAT pointed to something 
else, or something in the batch file was running something wierd. But 
this is a new XP workstation you say? Very odd

As it hangs
  -what does jps -v say? This lists running java processes
