Description Knut Radloff CLA 2002-06-25 17:38:47 EDT 
build GM3

When I import the org.eclipse.ui.externaltools and required plugins and compile 
I get a classpath error.
The org.apache.ant plugin is missing. It was not picked up as required by the 
PDE import wizard because it is not specified in the plugin.xml.
Comment 1 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-06-26 10:13:29 EDT 
Verified that org.apache.ant is required for the classes
AntBuildLogger.java, NullBuildLogger.java
Comment 2 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-06-26 11:03:28 EDT 
If you are importing using the PDE provided wizard, you have to manually update 
the classpath yourself. If you get the project directly from CVS, then the 
classpath will be setup properly.

We do not include the ant plugin in the plugin.xml file because we cannot have 
an explicit link to it. The new ant core support allows the user to choose any 
ant version they which to use beside the one ship with Eclipse. If we include 
the ant plugin, then there would be class loading problems.
