title: PhoneGap - Build error
body: <p>I'm very new to phonegap and tried to create a simple test app by entering the commands like described on the phonegap <a href="http://phonegap.com/install/" rel="noreferrer">install</a> webpage</p>
  <p>Unfortunately, I get the following error in the command-line:</p>
  <pre><code>BUILD FAILED
  E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:892: The following error occ
  urred while executing this line:
  E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:894: The following error occ
  urred while executing this line:
  E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:906: The following error occ
  urred while executing this line:
  E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:284: null returned: 1
  
  Total time: 4 seconds
  Error code 1 for command: cmd with args: /s,/c,ant,debug,-f,E:\Projects\Mobile\P
  honeGap\test-app\platforms\android\build.xml,-Dout.dir=ant-build,-Dgen.absolute.
  dir=ant-gen
     [error] cmd: Command failed with exit code 2
  </code></pre>
  <p>I use Windows 7 64-bit. My environment variables look like the following:</p>
  <pre><code>ANDROID_HOME = E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\AndroidSDK
  ANT_HOME = E:\Projects\Mobile\Eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.8.3.v201301120609
  JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
  </code></pre>
  <p>Nevertheless, if I type in &quot;ant&quot; in the command shell, I get the following message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>E:\Projects\Mobile\PhoneGap\test-app&gt;ant</p>
  <p>Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!</p>
  <p>Build failed</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Could that probably be the reason?</p>
  <p>Thanks for any help!</p>
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  <p>Here is the complete output in the commandline:</p>
