Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 Just updated Eclipse to new Helios version. But none of my ANT targets called from the ANT view work anymore: all freeze with no entry in the Eclipse .log file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to Eclipse Helios 2. Adjust ANT libs in the preferences 3. Start ANT target in the ANT view

Moving to Platform/Ant
(In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. Update to Eclipse Helios > 2. Adjust ANT libs in the preferences > 3. Start ANT target in the ANT view When you say "Adjust ANT libs..." what are you referring to? Pointing to a different version of Ant?
This is the same problem a have so often when I upgrade Eclipse: ANT never worked after an upgrade. I always have to set the ANT paths to the eclipse (mew) ant plugin directory. I removed all existing ANT JARs from Eclipses ANT preferences and added them again from the Helios installation. Now it works again. You really should throw some exceptions when running an ant script and classes (i.e. JARs) are missing. When I e.g. remove the "ant.jar" from the ANT preferences, the same result: Eclipse just freezes when starting and ant script and doesn't show any entry in the .log file.

Why do you have to manually remove + add them back? Are you leaving some of the standard Ant libraries out? > You really should throw some exceptions when running an ant script and classes > (i.e. JARs) are missing.

I tried removing ant.jar and a bunch of other standard Ant libraries and did not experience a 'freeze'. Can you provide some more exact steps to reproduce?
