Hi all, 
 
A similar message to this was posted last year, but i can't seem to find 
any replies to it, so I am re-stating the query. 
 
  
Has any one tried to use the ant input task to take user input in the 
Eclipse 
IDE using Eclipse 3.0 M8 and the bundled version of ant (1.6.1 I think)? 
 
I tried to do that but nothing prompts to ask the user for input and 
the build fails with java IO Exception stating that it failed to read 
input from console. There doesn't seem to be a way to enter anything 
from console. 
 
I know that the inputhandler must be implemented, but I thought that this 
had already been done by the Eclipse development team and that by default 
the input task should work properly.  Are there any specific ant settings 
that need to be changed within Eclipse to get it to work...maybe I am just 
using the input task wrong. 
 
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.. 
Thanks, 
Andrew.
