Eclipse Ant Tasks don't work on using the Ant Launcher in M8 [message #157492]

Hi all,

The eclipse ant-tasks, ex <eclipse.convertPath>, etc don't seem to work
using the Ant launcher within the eclipse environment. (gives a
ClassNotFoundException). One needs to made use of the antRunner
applicatione entry point and use a batch script whic does:

%JAVAEXE% -cp %STARTUPJAR% org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -noupdate
-application
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -data %WORKSPACE% -buildfile %BUILDFILE%

I am unsure whether I am doing something wrong or whether this is this the
intented behaviour. (which seems quite limiting)

All help appreciated,
Tarun

Not the intended behavior.

The Eclipse Ant tasks need the context of the Eclipse workspace to work
correctly.
Set builds that use the Eclipse Ant tasks to run in the same VM as Eclipse.
See the JRE tab for that particular Ant launch configuration.
