Hi Derek,

your questions don't belong to this newsgroup, maybe eclipse.platform.pde or
eclipse.newcomer would be a better place to ask. But anyway, see my answers
below.

Eclipse uses PDE build which generates Ant scripts. Maybe these links are
helpful:

Sometimes it takes some time. You didn't get a mail response asking for
confirmation?
