You can use the below ant command.

1) Open another CMD/Terminal at your platform directory (you don't need to stop your current running server)
2) Now set ant environment using setantenv.bat
3) Compile your storefront ant <yourstorefrontextension>_compileuisrc
    e.g. ant mystorefront_compileuisrc
