We have a few ant scripts which depend on ECLIPSE_HOME being defined. Some people define the environment path, others (like me) usually just specify that eclipse should run them in the JRE.

With eclipe 3.3 I had the following path as my eclipse_home "/Applications/Eclipse 3.3" using Eclipse 3.3 RC4. When running an ANT Build using the workspace JRE I get a Build Failed dialog, with no extra information to be displayed.

The Error log displays the following

When using an environment file specifying eclipse_home, no problems.
