Generating build.xml file for web app

Hi,

I took over a fairly large gwt project from someone midway. I'm done
with my app, but I don't know how to generate the ant build script
now. I've tried the "deploy module" feature, but I get a "Parse Error
or Internal Design Error", log below:

This error seems to have my path wrong in the first place (with the
repeating 'C:\eclipse'), and secondly that jar is not referenced
anywhere in my classpath. I tried removing this plug in, but then I
lose the "deploy module" functionality.

If I understand correctly, the other way to get the build file is my
using the webAppCreator in the beginning to create the project.

How can I write a ant build script once the project is completed?
There must be a systematic way to go about doing this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
