                    throw e;
                          ^

You need to install ANT.

You can do so by running the command sudo apt-get install ant

Another common issue: The android sdk platform-tools and tools dir both have to be within your $PATH

Your implementation may vary but something along the lines of:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/tools

source ~/.bash_profile
