Sorry but I'm making an assumption you're on a windows machine:
So you type ant at the command prompt and it's not recognized:
the directory to the ant.bat file is not in your PATH
You try to run ant from within and IDE and it's not recognized:
Some applications require you to configure a path to the ant bat/exe file directory. You should try the configuration menu to see how this is supported. Often the fix above with the path is all that is needed though.

Hi, if you are using J2EE and havent downloaded and installed Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.3/bin) try doing so and set enviromental variable ANT_HOME to install directory.
best lucky!
