Ant in Eclipse 3.1 [message #208230]

I installed the new Eclipse 3.1, and have a problem with Ant. I don't
know if it is a twitch in my installation, or a wider problem. Launching
a build file doesn't work, and no output goes anywhere. I was able to
create a "Builder" which runs my Ant build file as part of the Eclipse
build process, and the output goes to the Console View, and everything is
properly executed; but when I launch the Ant Build from the Ant View or
from External Tools, nothing much happens. The only indication that there
is any activity at all is a "jvm terminated" message across the top of the
Console View window. I've been using Eclipse for a couple years, and this
is definitely new behavior.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Check that your Ant runtime classpath is correctly pointing to the Ant 1.6.5
plugin.
Window>Preferences>Ant Runtime>Classpath
Easiest way to fix is to hit Restore defaults.

We have poor error messages etc. when this fails to get migrated.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=101224

Yes, it points to the Ant 1.6.5 plugin included with Eclipse 3.1. By the
way, I'm using jdk1.5.0_04.

Also ensure to check the individual launch configurations classpath tab.
Run Ant... > Classpath

Everything points to the Ant plugin version which accompanies Eclipse 3.1.
I do not even have any other ant versions on the box any more.

If you create a brand new buildfile and attempt to run it, is this
successful?

I created a "Greetings Earth" project (similar in many respects to "Hello

console view is a message:

"<terminated> GreetingEarth build.xml [Ant Build]
C:\JavaSystem\jdk1.5.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"

This message appears in the window's title bar (across the top), and the
messages I expect to see echoed in the window do not appear.

I deleted Eclipse from my system and reloaded it. Same behavior. Any
ideas on what to try next?

Is there indication of problems in the .log file?

Do you have any firewall restricting port access?

As a (temp) workaround, you can try running the Ant build in the same JRE as
Eclipse. See the JRE tab for your Ant launch configuration.

I asked our IT guys about port restrictions, and they say that there is no
firewall or other restriction on the local machine. Of course, the
corporate perimeter is protected, but not the local machine.

Why does the ant runner use sockets anyway? Seems like a fairly unusual
architecture, but I know nothing about Ant's or Eclipse's architecture.

Two days ago I was using Eclipse 3.0 with it's internal Ant plugin which
used Ant 1.6.2. Everything worked fine. Now, it is very problematic.
