switching tool to the ant build system

I finalized several days ago an ant build script for the TOOL (Totally Operating Omniuseful Linesofcodehackedtogether) and it’ll be pushed into the nbites master soon. It is somewhat faster than make, the code is cleaner, it’s more easily extensible and automatically adds jars to the path, but the best thing is probably that you can just import the ant build file in an IDE to import tool (which will hopefuly encourage more rookies to juggle with the code). All you have to do is run the command

ant

Of course, as any part of the tool, it’s imperfect since it still relies on make to make the TOOLVisionLink library (which is acceptable since you only do it once).

Cheers,

Octavian
