Create a new External tool that does not exist, say to c:\does\not\exist.bat.
When run using Run->External Tools, this pops up a dialog saying:

ExternalToolsAction.runAntProblem
Reason:
External tool runner internal error

The tool being run is not an Ant file, so the error message should not mention 
Ant. Also, "External tool runner internal error" should be replaced with a more 
useful "tool not found" message.

The same error dialog pops up when trying to run an Ant script that does not 
exist.
