a) why does it matter. I'm comfortable with ant, not gradle - not to mention ant compiles in ~1 second while gradle takes up to 10. b) I'm not complaining, I'm just looking for help. c) thanks for the really helpful post.

I'm writing a mod for 1.7.10. I'm trying to register a new command to interact with my mod. If I compile it via gradle, it works. However, I'm trying to compile it via Apache Ant. I extracted the *.class files from the gradle cache, and put them in my java ClassPath. When I compile, it compiles fine, but when Forge tries to load my mod, I get the following exception: [23:31:20] [server thread/ERROR] [FML]: Caught exception from ForgeHome
