I don't think the build is that great either; i often run into issues.
However, if you can lay out the specific steps you took (are taking)
and what you're seeing, hopefully we can fix some of the issues.

It all depends on your system - I've never had to use it on my
moderate linux systems, but I always have to use it on my windows
machines.
As for the stack trace, this is just the way Ant and reflection works
- root exceptions get hidden in InvocationTargetExceptions. If Ant
were printing the cause of the exception, it'd be much more obvious.

Are you running the top-level (federated build)? Did you add the
"-Dauto.fetch=true" to the command line? This automates the dependency
download.
