Trouble building the GCM Demo Server application [closed]

Question

Whenever I try to build the GCM Demo Server from the documentation using ant, I get 17 compilation errors. It seems that some GCM libraries are missing. How can I resolve these issues?

 Errors:

I've never run this project myself, but it looks like it is missing the libraries from extras\google\gcm\gcm-server\dist\gcm-server.jar and its dependencies. Add these to the libs folder under this project and try again.
