Why is Ant (org.eclipse.ant.ui) not part of the Eclipse Platform distribution? [message #57027]

I just noticed that there is no Ant editor available in the simple Eclipse
Platform - the plugin org.eclipse.ant.ui is not part of
eclipse-platform-3.0.2-win32.zip. On the other hand, the Workbench User
Guide clearly states that the Ant tools should belog to the platform.
What is the reason for this oddity ?

I copied org.eclipse.ant.ui from my eclipse-SDK-3.0.2-win32 installation
directory into my eclipse-platform-3.0.2-win32 installation directory.
Then I restarted the Platform. There still is no Ant Editor !?
And then I open the About dialog to check the list of installed plugins:
org.eclipse.ant.ui is not listed !
What can I do now ?

Ant core is in the platform...Ant ui is not.

Ant UI requires support from the Eclipse Java tooling
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54753 for the full details
