I don't have ANT_HOME set, so i want to find where the home directory of ant is. I'm using the version of ant that was installed by default on my OSX install.

Follow these instructions to find the location of any package:

whereis ant (replace 'ant' with whatever you're looking for)

On my machine, this reports:

/usr/bin/ant

so, I do:

ls -l /usr/bin/ant

on my machine this reports:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  22 Nov 30 17:09 /usr/bin/ant -> /usr/share/ant/bin/ant

so, I do :

ls -l /usr/share/ant

and get:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14 Nov 30 17:09 /usr/share/ant -> java/ant-1.8.1

from this I can surmise that ant is installed at /usr/share/ant/java/ant-1.8.1
