Package: eclipse Version: 3.2.1-6 Severity: important
Eclipse is unable to run ant because of a classpath problem. It produces an error box "could not find org.apache.tools.ant.launch.AntMain". Specifically, ant-launcher.jar is missing from the ant classpath config within eclipse. This persists across purging and reinstalling eclipse so appears to be a problem with eclipse itself. Adding the missing jar to the classpath fixes the problem, so it should be easy to fix. The missing jar is ant-launcher.jar, which is not symlinked in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.5/lib with the other jars; I added it from /usr/share/ant/lib/ directly, now building with ant works.
