FYI, I couldn't 'get this to work even following this approach. I finally had to copy the JDK14 and JDK13 directory trees to the default location where ANT looks for them, and only then could I get it to work.

Add tip for Windows users in BUILDING.txt file regarding file paths in the 
ant.properties file

In the section 3.2, step 2, where the user is instructed to add the j14lib and j13lib properties to the ant.properties file, it would be worth reminding the user that on windows, the file seperators need to be escaped. This is something most windows users will know, but it can be easily forgotten, especially when in other parts of the instructions you don't need to escape paths (e.g. when setting the path).

For example, the following works:

j14lib=C:\\j2sdk1.4.2_06\\jre\\lib
j13lib=C:\\jdk1.3.1_14\\jre\\lib

The following doesn't:

j14lib=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\jre\lib
j13lib=C:\jdk1.3.1_14\jre\lib

and causes the following errors:
