Yes – it does!
Also, a strange thing is that another user in my group installed eclipse 3.2 amd myeclipse 5.0 (same versions as me as far as I can tell) and DOESN’T have the problem! One thing we noticed is that, for some strange reason, the Window -> Preferences -> Ant -> Runtime -> Classpath “Contributed Entries” list has a different ordering in our installs. I particularly notice an entry of <install dir>/MyEclipse5.0GA/eclipse/plugins/org.eclise.wst.command.env_1.0.101.200608110849/ant-lib/anttasks.jar that shows up near the end of the list in the working install and much further towards the top in the other non-working installation. Other entries are also ordered differently. Could the ordering of the classpath (esp. conspicious is the additional myeclipse entry that shows up) be the culprit???

I noticed that the “Contributed Entries” area does not allow for add/remove/order of entries. Where is this information kept? Is it in a config file in the plugin – or is it generated at runtime somehow? If I knew where it was located and could change the ordering, I could see if that was the culprit…
Can you click “Restore Defaults” on that page and see if that helps? Additionally I’ve heard of people using “Ant Home..” to specify a new Ant home and pointing at an external install of Ant to fix Ant issues.
I’m not positive where this information is kept, but you can try checking in the plugins folder.
I also greped for “anttasks.jar” and found a reference in MyEclipse/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.command.env_1.0.101.200608110849/plugin.xml
I removed this and restarted eclipse but could not shift the extra entry Contributed Entries.
I greped the Eclipse and Workspace directories and could only find a single reference in the binary file – eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.mainData.1I have to deal with the same issue. Eclipse 3.2 myeclipse 5.0.1, jdk 1.5.0_08 on Windows 2000 SP4. Everything fresh installed.
I am officially confused on this issue, here’s why… I have tried to reproduce this on:
1) Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) 32-bit
2) Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) 64-bit
3) Windows XP Pro SP2 (ThinkPad)
4) Windows XP Pro SP2 (Desktop)
5) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10.1 32-bitAnd cannot reproduce it. I originally thought it was a linux/library issue but then a handful of you are having this problem on Windows as well which vexes me. Please do me a favor, the only hint we have to go on right now is the tip given by enginsol in relation to the ordering of the libraries under Window -> Preferences -> Ant -> Runtime -> Classpath “Contributed Entries”, can everyone post a screenshot or just type out the ordering of their libraries from this screen, then we can compare notes and see what is going on. Here is the ordering of my libraries from that screen on the ThinkPad:
Hello alll,
I am a little late to this conversation, but I am having the same problem on Windows XP. Please see my print screen as eveything is in a different order.

Hello,
Two things: 1) My library ordering is exactly the same as seesawrun’s. Note also that there is one other person on our team that does not see the problem – and his library order looks similar to support-rkalla’s! Both of us installed things with essentially the same procedure. 2) We have found a workaround – if not a bit of a hack — it seems that in the “eclipse/plugins” directory there is a jar – org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.2.0.v3232m.jar that contains four SWT-related DLL’s. If we extract these DLL’s into a directory, then add that directory onto our Windows “PATH” environment variable and restart Eclipse, things work fine (ie., the Ant input task displays a dialog window as expected…).
