Step 4. Compile Stendhal using ant

Open the command prompt window and cd to C:\development\stendhal (Note: there's a build.xml file in that folder).

Type ant clean and press enter
Note: ant clean is a harmless command that only deletes what it considers unused or unnecesary files and folders. You can use it anytime, but not immediately after typing ant compile because it deletes your compiled binaries too and you would have to compile again.

• Type ant convertmaps and press enter (this can take a while the first time you use it)
  Note: you normally use ant convertmaps when you have edited and changed any *.tmx map file in the source tree.

NOTE: If you encounter a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError during this stage under windows, type "set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx256m" before "ant convertmaps". This will increase the heap space alocated to the JVM.
