Description

"$ cordova build" exists with:

-pre-compile:
     [echo] Set jars path to: C:\ant-build\phonegap\test3\hello\platforms\android\CordovaLib\ant-build\classes.jar

-compile:
    [javac] Compiling 3 source files to C:\bin\phonegap\test3\hello\platforms\android\ant-build\classes
    [javac] C:\bin\phonegap\test3\hello\platforms\android\src\com\example\hello\HelloWorld.java:23: error: package org.apache.cordova does not exist
    [javac] import org.apache.cordova.*;
    [javac] ^
    [javac] C:\bin\phonegap\test3\hello\platforms\android\src\com\example\hello\HelloWorld.java:25: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac] public class HelloWorld extends CordovaActivity
    [javac]                                 ^
<...>

Reason:
bin/templates/project/custom_rules.xml:

....
        <pathconvert property="fixedJarsPath" refid="project.all.jars.path">
          <filtermapper>
*****            <replacestring from="/bin/" to="/ant-build/"/>
*****            <replacestring from="\bin\" to="\ant-build\"/>
          </filtermapper>
        </pathconvert>
        <path id="project.all.jars.path">
          <pathelement path="${fixedJarsPath}"/>
        </path>
        <echo message="Set jars path to: ${toString:project.all.jars.path}"/>
....

Fix:
The replace string is just to basic. There should be a file-path exists check or a correct error message should be shown during build process.
