Comment 14 for bug 134537

the problem is that the eclipse ant plugin's jar files are linked to those in /usr/share, that is the v1.7.0.3 version of ant. this is the case in 8.04 beta, and although the ant version is different, was also the case in 7.10.

my solution was to put ant 1.6.5 somewhere, rename the plugins lib directory, and link to the lib directory of the 1.6.5 version. note that as far as i can tell all the scripts, etc. are not aliased, only the jar files are, so this should be the only change required. i performed this myself a short while ago, being fed up with not seeing my projects targets in the dialog box, and now all seems to be well.
