Description Ed Willink CLA 2015-05-26 12:50:06 EDT 
From Bug 106604#c3

"By default, Ant builds are run in a seperate VM from Eclipse. The 
special "Eclipse" tasks are required to execute in the same runtime as 
Eclipse, and to be able to use the tasks, you must specify to run in the same 
runtime as Eclipse on the JRE tab of the Ant launch config."

I have lost track of the number of times I have hit this. It's a really painful debug that helps to make me hate ANT in Eclipse.

Why is there no diagnostic that an Eclipse task is being used but a distinct JRE is selected?

Yes, some diagnostic will help.
