35 :     <p>The Ant component is designed to bring the power of Ant and Eclipse together.
36 :     Ant is a Java based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without
37 : darins 1.11 make's wrinkles. It exists independent of Eclipse as an <a href="http://ant.apache.org/" target="_top">Apache
38 : dj 1.7 open source project</a>. Integrating Ant into Eclipse means:</p>
39 :     <ul>
40 : darins 1.11 <li>Executing Ant buildfiles from Eclipse</li>
41 :     <li>Enabling access to Eclipse resources/function from Ant buildfiles (i.e.,
42 : dj 1.7 providing Ant tasks for Eclipse)</li>
43 : darins 1.11 <li>Providing UI support for running Ant buildfiles and managing their output</li>
44 :     <li>Providing Ant buildfile development facilities (e.g., buildfile editors,
45 : dj 1.7 debuggers, ...)</li>
46 :     </ul>
47 :     <p>The goal of this component is to make Eclipse's Ant tooling the environment
48 :     of choice for Ant users and support Eclipse-based developers in their
49 :     product build requirements.</p>

77 :     <li>set the VM arguments on the JRE tab of your Ant launch configuration to enter the following line to tell the VM where to look for the SWT libraries:<br>
78 : darins 1.19 -Djava.library.path=&quot;${system:ECLIPSE_HOME}/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.${system:WS}_3.0.1/os/${system:OS}/${system:ARCH}&quot;.</li>
