BlocklyCompile Errors Prevent Successfully Building App Inventor

Open Source Development

Hello, I am trying to get a development environment up and running using Vagrant.
To do so, I am following the Readme on GitHub

But the ant command fails with the following error.

BlocklyCompile:

The versions of java and ant are as follows:

vagrant@ubuntu-bionic:/vagrant/appinventor$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_312"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_312-8u312-b07-0ubuntu1~18.04-b07)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.312-b07, mixed mode)
vagrant@ubuntu-bionic:/vagrant/appinventor$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.5 compiled on March 28 2019
vagrant@ubuntu-bionic:/vagrant/appinventor$

Please guide me.
