Hi... The eclipse-cpp (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers) distribution has a broken ANT support at least since the Europa release.
Symptom: In Eclipse, under Window->Preferences, there is no category "Ant". Diagnosis: only the the plugin "org.eclipse.ant.core" is provided. "org.eclipse.ant.ui" is missing. I had this both on Linux (Debian) and Windows after installing eclipse-cpp. Solution: - Don't use the eclipse-cpp distribution. Take the "Eclipse Classic" distribution from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ instead and install the C/C++ support manually. Then you will have both C/C++ and a working ANT. - if you don't want to replace your existing installation, you can still download the "classic" distribution (just 151MB ;-), and extract the JARs missing in the "cpp" distribution from there (version numbers apply to the current Ganymede release): eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ant.ui_3.3.0.v20080529.jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.4.2.v_883_R34x.jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui_3.3.1.v20080730_r341.jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.launching_3.4.1.v20080729_r341.jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core.manipulation_1.2.0.v20080603-2000.jar and the following directory eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.debug_3.4.0.v20080604/ The first JAR is what's obviously missing, and the others are it's dependencies. Hope that helps for all those who had to say "does not work for me".
