"Ant Builds" are run in the same VM as Eclipse. No new JVM in this case. We are planning to make starting an Ant build in a new VM much easier...http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24129

Another Eclipse session is started...new JVM). The Ant tests are run in the VM of this new Eclipse session.
