build.xml does not exist: did you run ant command in directory where build.xml is located? You may create it first - learn how to do it in ant tutorial

tools.jar: run java -version. It may happen that some other java have preference in PATH variable. You might need to fine-tune PATH variable. Java binary is often copied to c:\windows (aka system32). Try to add JAVA_HOME\bin to start of PATH variable
