ant build files not working in M7 [message #204975]

M7 seems to be completely screwed up!

My ant files wont work now. I do a build on them and the console just
shows a '<terminate>" message.
I created a new workspace and copied my project there and the build file
started working. But as soon as I closed eclipse and restarted my
workbench, now again the build files won't work!!!!

It seems if I have to use my build files I will have to create a new
workspace every time!
And yes, I did try selecting the option 'Run in the same JRE' but then I
get an error dialog saying - couldn’t find one or more classes -
"org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException"

I even tried to uncheck the 'set an input handler' option but nothing
happened.

Seriously how do u guys manage to screw up builds so badly and that too
a RC release. It seems that things that worked fine in previous builds
have been completly screwed in M7.

Paste multiple lines and the indenting of first one screws up.
Pressing Ctrl+Space after typing 'new' doesn't do anything.
Now ant files also won't work.

M7 is so screwed up, I have to now switch back to M6!!!

I just ran into the same Ant problem. I get a dialog:

title : "Java Virtual Machine Launcher"
message : "Could not find the main class. Program will exit."

From bug 95611:

To workaround this problem in M7, you can turn off "Set an Input Handler" on
the Main page of the Ant launch configuration.

This worked for me.

I just ran into the same and was able to fix it:

It appears that eclipse had copied over the preferences from my previous
workspace (I switched directly from 3.0.2 to 3.1M7) and did not adapt
certain pathes:

In Preferences => Ant => Runtime => Classpath tab I had to redefine the
Ant-Home to now point to "C:\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6.3" in my
case. it was still pointing to "C:\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6.2"
which was the location in 3.0.2, but which had disappeared with my
switch to 3.1M7. Maybe it's possible to use some classpath variable
here, to make this adaptation automagically, but this solved my problem
for now...

Hope that helps...
