In Luna and Mars, when one tries to run ant and its compile task using Java < 7, one would get the "JRE version less than 1.7 is not supported" pop-up. In Luna, one could work around this issue in the External Tools Configurations by changing the Ant Home in the Classpath tab to an earlier version of Ant, and by using a separate JRE in the JRE tab. This work around no longer works in Mars. Please fix. I should be able to compile my applications using older versions of Ant and Java combatible with my company's environment without having to hard-code the paths to those resources (which will, likely, be different for each developer) in the javac task call.
Yes, If user changes the Ant Home, We should not put the restriction for Java >=1.7.
Moving to M2, As I am not getting a consistent output from ANT_HOME and DEFAULT_CLASSPATH attributes from the configuration.
Moving to M4, as M3 is dedicated for Java 9 work.
I was working on removing the error if ant Home is not default and JRE is used less than 7, I was able to get the error removed but it is not enough to actually run Ant 1.7.1 on JDK 1.6 in eclipse. We get back the same error as mentioned in Bug 421423. As remote.jar is compiled with 1.7, it will fail as it can not find the main class.
I am trying to compile remote.jar with 1.6 as we do in jdt launching.
I know this is late in the game, but have you looked at the solution at http://blog.sibvisions.com/2015/09/25/eclipse-mars-with-ant-and-jre-6-story/

After testing in the build, can be released in 4.6.2
The 3 JARs whose setup was touched are now always dirty after the project got cleaned. That should be avoided. We've solved this problem for /org.eclipse.jdt.ui/jar-in-jar-loader.zip by adding a <target name="dummy_clean"/> task to the Ant build file and configuring this task in the Ant builder for the "After a Clean" event. The build for the /org.eclipse.ant.ui/lib/remoteAnt.jar fails with compile errors in my workspace (misses SWT on the classpath, maybe happens because I have SWT from source): Buildfile: C:\e\w\master\git\eclipse.platform\ant\org.eclipse.ant.ui\buildfiles\buildRemoteExtraJAR.xml init: clean: lib/remoteAntLib.jar: [mkdir] Created dir: C:\e\w\master\git\eclipse.platform\ant\org.eclipse.ant.ui\temp.folder\lib\remoteAnt.jar.bin [javac] Compiling 3 source files to C:\e\w\master\git\eclipse.platform\ant\org.eclipse.ant.ui\temp.folder\lib\remoteAnt.jar.bin [javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.6 [javac] C:\e\w\master\git\eclipse.platform\ant\org.eclipse.ant.ui\Remote Ant Support\org\eclipse\ant\internal\ui\antsupport\inputhandler\SWTInputHandler.java:19: error: package org.eclipse.swt does not exist [javac] import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; [javac] ^ [...] You probably have to restore the <javac><classpath> element that was removed with the change in bug 412254.

Note that the classpath entries that were wrongly removed in bug 412254 tried to get SWT dependencies from the workspace as well as from the currently running eclipse install. The workspace entries need to be updated to the current project layout in Git. Furthermore, we should set the JDTCompilerAdapter if possible, so that we don't depend on unknown compilers. I don't really expect something like https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/hh/thompson/trust.html , but using our own products is always a plus. Done that with http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.git/commit/?id=473f76a3899fe6917daf16b767649475c4518351
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.git/commit/?id=470058dd447650595dff204ea3b668cd6645deff Removed entry of 3 jars (remoteAnt.jar, remote.jar and antdebug.jar) from build.properties as we are compiling it locally with 1.6 and we don't want Tycho to rebuild it.

(In reply to Eclipse Genie from comment #14) The fix for bug 507345 was this line in /org.eclipse.ant.launching/build.properties: extra.lib/loggers.jar = lib/antdebug.jar The loggers.jar needs the antdebug.jar on the classpath at build time.
Verified in 4.7 build Eclipse SDK Version: Oxygen (4.7) Build id: I20161110-2030 Will be pushing the same changes to 4.6.2. Dane can you do a +1 ?
Bundle version increase in master for ant.launching and ant.ui http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.git/commit/?id=6ebec20ef7c9d702fada14937494334eba26b6af

https://git.eclipse.org/r/84970 Added gerrit Change for R4_6 Maintenance. As the changes were not available for direct cherry pick, it will be good if Markus can review as we are in RC2 now.

(In reply to Sarika Sinha from comment #19) > As the changes were not available for direct cherry pick, it will be good if > Markus can review as we are in RC2 now. I cherry-picked all 4 commits that mentioned this bug in the proper order (oldest to newest). I didn't get any conflicts, so I squashed the commits and updated the bundle versions. When I compared this to https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/84970/1 , the only changes were unnecessary formatting changes, bad indentations, and bugs in the src.includes in both build.properties files. I've pushed my commit (once, the other two comments are bug 507536).
Verified using Eclipse SDK Version: Neon.2 (4.6.2) Build id: M20161115-1315
