2. To make sure that ant can find the ant-contrib tasks, create a symlink into the lib folder of the ant installation:

    sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/ant-contrib.jar /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-contrib.jar
   

3. Grab a copy of the git repository.

    git clone https://github.com/Benjol/SE-AutoReviewComments.git
   

4. Build SE-AutoReviewComments using ant.

    cd SE-AutoReviewComments
    ant
   

   Note: If you're using a 64bit CPU, you need to tell ant:

    ant -Darch=64
