I'm not sure what could have gone wrong before but if you find out it might
be interesting to report. About importing all the binary plug-ins, yes, you
don't need to do that - it is only the way I usually work and does not mean
it is the best way to go. :-)

Yes - As a sanity check I had created a completely new eclipse install,
and added org.eclipse.ant.core as the only project.

Yes, using F2.

Why is this neccessary?  Aside from source viewing issues, doesn't the PDE
handle plugin deps to the plugins already installed (defined for the
target workbench)?

I suspected this was the culprit, so I tried not deleting them, but things
still worked, so you can cross that off your list of things to check in
making it easier =)

I'm not defining any tasks in plugins, just trying to run a simple hello
world build using my hacked org.eclipse.ant.core

The above steps seem to work for me, but I can't see how they differ
significantly from what I was doing (aside from use of binary plugins and
deletion of temp.folder and antsupport.jar).  Shouldn't what I was doing
have worked as well?  Thanks for your help,

Matt
