Hello all, I have eclipse 3.6 helios with 1.7 ant i need to migrate to 1.8. I really would like to do this as simple as possible:
1) is there some version of windows eclipse ide that contains 1.8 ant? If so no problem i'll just download it. looking at the eclipse website it wasn't clear to me and i dont want to waste my time downloading and not finding it.
2) if there's no version that contains it - is there an eclipse plugin specific to 1.8* (doesnt matter which 1.8* just later than 1. Cool

. if so can i just update it through eclipse (some menu item) or do i have to download it and unpack it into my eclipse ide plugin directory. if i do what do i do about the 1.7 plugin that exists there?

believe it or not there is no easy answer to this when i googled it (or i missed it because i'm dumb).

I need to do this asap as all my builds are failing with the 1.7 ant.

thanks for any help!

Charlie

Eclipse 3.7 ships with ant 1.8.2, and the OSGi versions of org.apache.ant are available in http://www.eclipse.org/orbit from the downloads section.

But I'm not sure you would be able to drop a different version of ant into your 3.6 install.
