I think there is a variable for this, yes (warning, this is XEmacs):
compile-command
User Option: *Last shell command used to do a compilation; default for next
compilation.
If you set this to "ant -find build.xml" and tell JDE to build using
make, you should be done (I'm using something home-brewed and
unreleasable myself).

Either invoke ant with the -emacs switch or use something like this
(FAQ is down. otherwise I would have pointed you there):
(require 'compile)
(setq compilation-error-regexp-alist
(append (list
;; works for jikes
'("^\\s-*\\[[^]]*\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):[0-9]+:[0-9]+:" 1 2 3)
;; works for javac
;; thanks to Barrie Treloar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
'("^\\s-*\\[[^]]*\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):" 1 2))
compilation-error-regexp-alist))
> Has anyone written any modules to do this?
Yes, there've been a couple of them, I always hoped they'd get merged
at some time, so we could include it into the Ant distribution. At
best you search the archives at marc.theaimsgroup.com for ant-dev and
ant-user - emacs in Subject should work quite well.
