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.
