Does the ADT plugin automatically create an ant build file?

Solution
The ADT plugin doesn't generate an Ant file.
The `android` command will generate an Ant file when you create a new project from the command line by calling `android create project`. You could create an example project and copy the `build.xml`, `build.properties` and `local.properties` files from that directory.
Alternatively, you can just copy the `build.xml` template directly from `$ANDROID_HOME/tools/lib/build.template` then just change the project name.
Then just create a `build.properties` file — it's where you place any Ant property overrides. Also you need a `local.properties` file, but don't check that into source control — this is where you specify your `$ANDROID_HOME` directory by setting the `sdk.dir` property.
Problem
I created an Android project a few months ago and now have to automate the build process with Hudson. The Android dev guide mentions a build.xml file that gets created when you generate a project (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html) but I dont see one in my project. Will I have to create this by hand or can I run a command to generate it?
