Hi, David.

CAJ requires JCA. Have you built JCA yet?

When I built CAJ, I had to edit the build.xml file to tell it where my 
JCA library was. In the part that looks like this

        <path id="build.classpath">
                <pathelement location="../jca-2.3.0.jar"/>
        </path>

I replaced "../jca-2.3.0.jar" with the path to my JCA jar file.

Then I was able to do

$ ant clean
$ ant

The caj.jar file is created at "target/caj.jar".
