Warren,
Yes, to build the driver from source you need ant, the driver source is
in the tarball, you need the jdk for the libraries, and the compiler
however: the easiest way is to just d/l the jar. Do yourself a favour
and use the dev jar, personally weighing the (in)stability vs. the bugs
I know exist in the stable jar. I would pick the dev jar. It's pretty
solid.
