Change eclipse to use JRE 1.4 and your problem with ANT will go away.

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Actionscript preprocessor


 I am currently using Eclipse, MTASC and ANT for my development (on
 Windows), and this is working well.  However, while I currently have
 release and debug ANT targets, these really only change a couple of
 MTASC compile options (ie tracing).  I have decided that a better
 solution is needed, to allow a release build to exclude NetDebug, to
 automatically change some config options, and also to integrate build
 numbers.

 So, preprocessing.  After some searching, I found cpp (
 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/ ), filepp (
 http://www.cabaret.demon.co.uk/filepp/ ), and jappo (
 http://jappo.opensourcefinland.org/ ).

 However.

 cpp - linux application, the only Windows version I can see is via
 cygwin.  And installing this on every development machine, for a single
 utility seems overkill.  Plus, cpp seems to have the least features, and
 the filepp docs suggest it may leave strange comments in output files.

 filepp - Perl module, which should be fine (all development machines
 have ActivePerl installed).  Except the download contains source files,
 and a bash script to create the application.  So, again I'm kind of
 stuck being on Windows.

 jappo - Java .jar, with ANT integration.  Sounds perfect.  Except that
 after I work out how to reference the jar correctly in EclipseAnt and it
 runs, it gives errors about missing classes (ie
 org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI ).  I downloaded the XPath addon for
 Eclipse, but this didn't help.  I can't run any of the jappo samples
 either, as I don't have the Java SDK (currently downloading).


 Has anyone successfully used a preprocessor for Actionscript on Windows,
 and do you have any suggestions?

 Grant Cox
