Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a external tool builder 
2. Run headless antRunner with 
      <echo>Building @{project} . . .</echo>
        <eclipse.incrementalBuild
          kind    = "full"
          project = "@{project}" />

Workaround:
        <eclipse.incrementalBuild
          kind    = "full"
          project = "@{project}" 
          builder = "specific builder" />
and call the external tools external ;)
