### Prerequisites
* Java 8
-* [Ant](http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html) (with [Ivy](https://ant.apache.org/ivy/download.cgi)), [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) or [Gradle](https://gradle.org/gradle-download/)
+* [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) or [Gradle](https://gradle.org/gradle-download/)
* An instance of SQL Server or Azure SQL Database that you can connect to.
### Build the JAR files
Maven and Gradle builds automatically trigger a set of verification tests to run. For these tests to pass, you will first need to add an environment variable in your system called `mssql_jdbc_test_connection_properties` to provide the [correct connection properties](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428(v=sql.110).aspx) for your SQL Server or Azure SQL Database instance.
-To build the jar files, you must use Java 8 with either Ant (with Ivy), Maven or Gradle. You can choose to build a JDBC 4.1 compliant jar file (for use with JRE 7) and/or a JDBC 4.2 compliant jar file (for use with JRE 8).

-* Ant:
- 1. If you have not already done so, add the environment variable `mssql_jdbc_test_connection_properties` in your system with the connection properties for your SQL Server or SQL DB instance.
- 2. Run one of the commands below to build a JDBC 4.1 compliant jar, JDBC 4.2 compliant jar, or both in the \build directory.
- * Run `ant`. This creates both JDBC 4.1 compliant jar and JDBC 4.2 compliant jar in \build directory
- * Run `ant build41`. This creates JDBC 4.1 compliant jar in \build directory
- * Run `ant build42`. This creates JDBC 4.2 compliant jar in \build directory
