Re: Replacing ant version

[Rodrigo Peretti <rodrigo_peretti@xxxxxxx>]

There is a feature request for specifying the Ant installation:

http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21809

Does the following doc help?
http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/documentation/2.0/html/plugins/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-86.htm

We have run Ant 1.5 in Eclipse successfully and I've seen posts on the
newsgroup about other people that did. If you could come up with
reproducible steps (and maybe a small buildfile that reproduces the
problem) we can try to track it down.
