First of all, take a tour here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html[^], and read it carefully.

In general you don't have any restriction where to put this xml. You need to run it. Well, you need to run an executive that will process the tasks. You can use the command line (see manual), but many IDEs like Eclipse have built-in executives for Ant (check here: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2FgettingStarted%2Fqs-81_basics.htm[^]).
