How use jarbundler to create an .app from JPortsUI.jar?

[Murray Eisenberg]

I get no error if I use:

  ant -lib /opt/local/share/java  -buildfile build.xml

However, I don't find afterward any JPortsUI.app. (Creating that was the whole point.)

In case it's relevant:

  (i)"echo $ANT_HOME" gives empty response.

 (ii) I have no $HOME/.ant/lib (presuming that $HOME refers to the value I get from "echo HOME", namely, the path to my user directory). 

(iii) The value from "echo $CLASSPATH" is:

    :/Library/Java/Extensions/mysql-connector-java-bin.jar:/Volumes/MacHD/Users/murray/Library/texmf/texhyphj
