Hello,
How do I build eclipse from scratch using the ant or any build command?
Is there a document for that? Which directory should I start building it?
I've downloaded the source code from CVS using the check out command.
There's a lot of directories and java files. At the root level, there's
at leave 20 directories. There's directories called org.eclipse.* such
as org.eclipse.sdk. There's also org.eclipse.ant.core. However when I
search recursively, there aren't a lot of build.xml.

In a normal build, the build.xml scripts are automatically generated by pde.build.
To build eclipse from scratch, use the Source Build for a given release (the
"Access the Source Builds page" link from the SDK download page). Eg:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M6a -200804091425/sourceBuilds.php
There are 2 versions of the source build there, one fetches the source from cvs,
the other has the source included in the zip.
Note this is only compiling Java code, native pieces (like eclipse.exe itself)
are precompiled and binaries exist in cvs.
