Ant Problem With Eclipse 2.1

Posted

in

Buzz over at Sci-Fi Hi-Fi notes that the version of Ant (1.5.2) that ships with Eclipse 2.1 has the zip/jar bug.  Here’s his list of steps to fix the situation:

    1. Download Ant 1.5.3.
    2. Copy the contents of plugins/org.apache.ant_1.5.2 to plugins/org.apache.ant_1.5.3.
    3. Replace ant.jar and optional.jar at plugins/org.apache.ant_1.5.3 with the Jars from the newer distribution.
    4. Change the version number in plugins/org.apache.ant_1.5.3/plugin.xml to 1.5.3.
    5. Trash plugins/org.apache.ant_1.5.2.

Thanks for the hot tip, Buzz.  I’ll take care of this on my copy of Eclipse tonight.
