Description Jörg von Frantzius

[3.2 M5]

When I doubleclick an ant target in the Ant View, all I get is a dialog saying "Build failed
Reason:
Unable to find ant target to run." 
This also happens when I chose right-click "Run As... / Ant Build..." on a target. The file is really just called build.xml, and I looked in the preferences where there is "build.xml" listed in the "Names" section of the Global Ant Settings. 

This used to work just great in Eclipse 3.2 M4.

Is there anything in your .log file indicating more of a problem?

From the debug view of Eclipse, is a process created and if so what is the process commandline (Right click on the process>Properties)?

I am wondering if bug 128553 is the root cause of this problem as well?

No, unfortunately not. I cleared the log and doubled-clicked an ant-target, which gave me the said dialog but no entry in the Error Log.

No process seems to get created. The dialog appears immediately.

That's what I also wondered, but as I don't get the NPE here, at least not visible anywhere, I don't think so.

I cannot reproduce the problem.
Is this for all Ant buildfiles?

Anything more to report here? We have had no other reports of problems.

Sorry can't currently test M5 as it was unusable for me, I'll reopen when I see the problem again with next milestone, in case you want to get it out of your list of open bugs...
