IIRC, Logback looks for the XML file in your classpath.  Maven gives you a lot of stuff for free (and via plugins) that you have to, if memory serves, manually do with ANT, e.g., copying certain files from the source directory to your build/target directory.

I was able to easily get it working with maven when i copied the file
into my resources folder, but it is not working with ant. Somehow it
is not found, in that case all debugging options in the xml makes no
sense as this is just not found.

I tested it with StatusPrinter and printing the LoggerContext:

run:
12:58:06.590 [main] ERROR com.logbackanttest.LogbackAntTest - ERROR
12:58:06,545 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] -

Setting up default configuration.

I am currently in the project root directory, where a logback.xml is
located. Also the dist folder (created by netbeans) contains a
logback.xml and inside this dist folder the folder lib is created
(containing the 3 jars, logback common, classic and slf4j) where also
a logback.xml is located.
