I am trying to install and work on cordova for the the first time. I got through all the installation steps on the cordova apache page. However, I get to the point where I need to build an android app and it never works. I get the following error (which seems to be a frequent error to cordova first-timers but no helpful review on the matter)
The identifying error lines are:
Error code 1 for command: cmd with args: /s,/c,ant,debug,-f,C:\wamp\www\hello\platforms\android\build.xml,-Dout.dir=ant-build,-Dgen.absolute.dir=ant-gen

Here is the full cordova dump
