Ant:
- shipped 3.2 M6
- performance work:
  - permgen memory leak on Ant run: 
    - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130545
    - still not resolved and each profiling
tool appears to be lying in
      different ways and impacting
the results
    - any and all help is appreciated:
      - other performance issues appear
to be solely resulting from
        issues in lower level
components
      - unlikely to have much time
to spend here except to point other
        teams at the Ant tests
    - open LCD on Targets tab performance
regression: 
      - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=128416
      - appears to be SWT due to the
large differences between 
        different platforms
    - open Ant Editor performance regression:
      - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=128417
- polish of Ant preference pages
- tweak of the AntMigrationDelegate used to migrate
existing launch
  configs to the new launch configuration resource
filtering
- cleaning up the broken NLS strings
