 2. Type `ant download-lib` to automatically download the BASE core JAR files that
    are neeed for compilation. You can also do this manually by copying the 
    base-core-3.x.jar file from the BASE installation directory

Tip: If you need different values for any of the properties defined in
the 'build.xml' file, create a file named 'build.properties' and set
the values there.
