Hi,

i am following a tutorial on how to build a project (using Eclipse) of a library
that i need to use.

The tutorial states to "open Window->Preferences->Ant...". But i cannot find (inside the tree on the left) in the panel Window->Preferences the voice ANT...what is happening?

Searching, i have found that Ant is a building system. So i downloaded apache ant and installed it on my Windows machine. I have found ant4eclipse but i don't know if i really need it and how to install it. I have followed their instruction but i still can't see the ant voice in the preferences window...

help!

It must be that the Eclipse package you downloaded doesn't include ant.
I'm not certain which packages include it, however, I do know that
Eclipse IDE for Java JEE Developers contains it since that's the one I
use and actively deal in ant build scripts on a daily basis. Unless you
don't develop in Java at all, I'd suggest you adopt that particular
Eclipse package for what you're doing.
