Description John Cortell CLA 2010-12-21 10:25:42 EST 
org.eclipse.swtbot.releng/readme.txt lists the required tools for building SWTBot at the cmdline. It fails to indicate that ant-contrib is required. The lack of it results in obscure build failures.
Comment 1 Ketan Padegaonkar CLA 2010-12-21 13:38:17 EST 
The user need not download the file. Run 'ant materialize-workspace' to download all dependencies. This target is documented.

Marking as wontfix.
Comment 2 John Cortell CLA 2010-12-21 14:01:55 EST 
I assure you 'ant materialize-workspace' failed without ant-contrib. It worked only after I manually installed ant-contrib. This is on a Windows XP machine.
Comment 3 John Cortell CLA 2011-01-05 16:33:40 EST 
I ran the ant build on another machine and that succeeded without having to manually install ant-contrib, so confirming that this is likely user error (mine).
