Hi Darin,

Thanks for your fast answer. I'm working with build Eclipse 2.1 build
200210150832.

I thought I could call the AntRunner from outside a plugin but this is
apparently not the case. Adding the ant core plugin dependency to my
plugin and running the snippet from within the plugin works!

Thanks a lot
-Vincent
