Ant Build Scripts

The official Vault 3 builds are generated by a set of Ant build scripts. You can find the Ant build scripts with the Package Explorer. To run a script, right-click it and select Run As / Ant Build. The Ant scripts only work on 64-bit Windows, but it would be easy to adapt them to run in other environments.
