Eclipse ant support apparently missing
 

I recently installed eclipse on my f14 box, and I can't get ant support
to work. No ant preferences. No ant editor.

Am I missing some package? Here is what I have installed:

eclipse-platform-3.6.1-6.1.fc14.x86_64
eclipse-jdt-3.6.1-6.1.fc14.x86_64
eclipse-subclipse-1.6.16-1.fc14.noarch
tomcat5-jasper-eclipse-5.5.27-7.4.fc12.noarch
eclipse-swt-3.6.1-6.1.fc14.x86_64
eclipse-rcp-3.6.1-6.1.fc14.x86_64
icu4j-eclipse-4.2.1-1.fc14.x86_64
eclipse-gef-3.6.1-1.fc14.noarch
eclipse-svnkit-1.3.3-5.fc14.noarch

Thanks for your help,

Rob

What do you mean by ant support? You should be able to right-click an
ant script in your workspace and go "Run as"-->"Ant Build"

No, "Run As" on build.xml does not have an "Ant Build" option either.

It seems like there is a plugin missing or an exception loading the
plugin. But I understand that ant support is included in the base
package.

I tried removing ./.eclipse and my workspace, and reinstalling all of
eclipse. Still no luck. I also ran a fresh install from yum on a
different machine (CentOS 5.4), and all the ant features were there.

Strange - I must be missing something simple.

Is there anything interesting in the log file?

It's located in /path/to/workspace/.metadata/.log

Before I cleaned everything and reinstalled, the log contained these
three items (multiple times):

---------------- .log entries --------------

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2011-03-09 20:05:05.798
!MESSAGE Unable to create editor ID
org.eclipse.ant.ui.internal.editor.AntEditor: No editor descriptor for
id org.eclipse.ant.ui.internal.editor.AntEditor

and

!SUBENTRY 2 org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2011-03-09 20:05:11.139
!MESSAGE Could not create view: org.eclipse.ant.ui.views.AntView

and

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 2 2011-03-09 22:59:23.369
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in:
"org.eclipse.core.resources".
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugException: Launch configuration type id
"org.eclipse.ant.AntBuilderLaunchConfigurationType " does not exist.
Possible causes:
Missing specification of a launch type (missing plug-in)
Incorrect launch configuration XML

---------------------------

After cleaning and reinstalling, the log is basically empty. So the
above errors my be red herrings. I tried creating a new user and
running eclipse, but no luck (no ant preferences, no ant builder, no ant
editor). I tried installing Sun's jdk, and got the same result.

I tried to find a difference between my machine's eclipse installation
and another f14 installation (with working ant features), without luck.
The /usr/lib64/eclipse tree looks the same regarding ant jars.

It seems like the ant jars are not being recognized on my machine.
Possibly a classpath issue. But I can't see the difference between the
two machines.

Can you try installing eclipse-pde?

Yes, that fixed it.

Why is pde required?

It's not, but there's a problem with something being put into the pde
sub-package when it shouldn't be. This messes up a lot of the things
that are installed into dropins (everything but the platform itself).
There are a number of related reports for this:

Eclipse won't load other plugins
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665249

Missing components for Mylyn and PyDev
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684894

... and probably a few more. It *appears* that this only happens on
x86_64 but Alex is looking into it. There's also the issue of things
only showing up after the second startup of Eclipse.
