Hi,
I have a problem that is really killing me.

I recently installed Eclipse3.1M7. JDK is V1.5.0_01

Ant builds ran fine in 3.1M6, but now every time I try to run an ant task
I get a popup with:
Title: Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Message: Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

Build and Executes/debugs of the project all work fine...Ant just does not
want to run.

I've checked the tools.jar and jre...all looks fine.

Any ideas...anyone..please?
Help....

thanks...thought I was going crazy for a while.

The proposed solution does not appear to work for me either.

Any clues?

Can you provide the command line information: Right click on your failed
build process>Process Information>Command Line

Thanks

And does running in the same JRE (set on the JRE tab of your Ant launch
config) solve any problems?

Interesting...my main jre is set to the jdk

If I set the Ant to JRE (different one) I get the original error.

If I set it to same as workspace I now get
Dialog: Failure of Background Ant Build
Message: Could not find one or more classes:

Sorry...more explict instructions:
Run the build that fails
Go to the debug view, right click on the terminated process>Process
Information>Command Line

Also in your plugins directory you do not have either
org.eclipse.ant.core_3.1.0 or org.eclipse.ant.ui_3.1.0 do you?
That is you did your M7 install in a new location...not over your old M6
install?

Can you verify that

C:\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\6\1\.cp\li b\remoteAnt.jar
is present.

Also it is very strange that your Ant home is pointing to
c:\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6.3 yet you are using all the Ant JARs
from G:\eclipse-SDK-3.0-win32\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6. 2?

Go to the classpath tab

remoteant.jar is there.

Strange...the ant home does not seem to want to reset, even manually doing
it.
Is it set anywhere else?

Success!!
Thank you.

Had to go to window/preferences/ant/runtime/
and remove the old ones manually and add external jars.
Now works fine.

Strange how it did that because I dumped a whole directory from one G
drive to C, without running it on G first, unless there is a workspace
setting that held the ant home locations? These were also copied from G to
C drive?

So problem actually seemed to be just the ant home was screwed, as I just
tested the same/diff workspace with "set an input handler" checked and
it's all sweet.

Thanks again for your time in talking me through this.
Sometimes it's obvious, but an outside eye is what you need.

Cheers,

Thank you.
There must be a bug in here somewhere...it should not have been soo hard to
figure this out.
I will attempt to play around with migration in this area to see what I can
find.
