I am trying to create an Acceleo plugin from existing projects and always get back this error message:

'Export Plug-ins' has encountered a problem.

/media/Data/users/lads/Trabalho/Eclipse/Workspace.Acceleo/org.eclipse.acceleo.module.sample/build.xml:422: Problem: failed to create task or type apitooling.apigeneration
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.

This build.xml file seems to be created on the fly, when Acceleo is trying to generate the plugin. When it fails the file is deleted, so I can't check what may be wrong.

I have this same error with any Acceleo project, even newly created projects. I'm using Acceleo 3.3.0 on Eclipse Indigo. Thanks.
