Run Ant... Error: Config file is not of expected XML Type [message #155655]

I am running Eclipse 2.1.1 with JDK 1.4.2_01.

When I try to Run Ant..., after highlighting the plugin.xml, I get the
error:

plugin.xml:6: Config file is not of expected XML type.

This is when trying to Run ant for the org.eclipse.core.boot/plugin.xml.

here are the first six lines of the plugin.xml (I didn't change it)
----------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plugin
id="org.eclipse.core.boot"
name="pluginName"
version="2.1.1"
provider-name="providerName">

-------------------------------------------

It seems to be a problem with Eclipse itself. I was able to gen the
build.xml's a few weeks ago, but something seems to have happened since.
This happens with all plugins I try to open up.

Any ideas?

thanks...

You do not run Ant on the plugin.xml.
You need to Run Ant... on the build.xml that you generate from the
plugin.xml
