I can't get Ant to work (in PDT).
First, nowhere can I make eclipse to run ant on my build.xml file. All the different context- and other menus from where you can command it just don't do anything (no feedback at all so I don't know if anything has happened).
Only when I opened the Ant view, manually added my build file there and ran it via the view run button, it finally does something, but then I get the error below.

Can someone please help me with (yet another*) eclipse bottleneck? Sad

I'd appreciate it! (This is for a development cooperation project.)

====== Error ====
'Launching Ant buildfile' has encountered a problem.
An internal error has occurred.
org/eclipse/ant/internal/ui/launchConfigurations/AntJRETab

* Since I installed Eclipse 4.2, I had a lot of problems eating time away.

Example of the "running" problems mentioned:
When I do..
my project > properties > builders > clicked new > Ant builder
.. it does nothing. Add dialog closes and nothing happens.
