I am reading the Oreilly Eclipse book, by STeve Holzner, and he has the
following compiler added to an ant build, though he doesn't say why to
use it.
<property name="build.compiler"
value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/>
1) I assume this makes ant use the built in compiler; is this correct?
2) Does this allow eclipse to become aware of project structure while
you use your ant build?

I understand the difference between the ant script and the internal
builder. The build for the project that I am working on is much too
complex to use the internal builder. So, I need to use the ant build.
Eclipse provides tools to use this from within Eclipse. But if i forgo
the internal builder, how does eclipse become aware of the project
structure in order to provide the extra functions it has?
