BUILD FAILED: C:\eclipse3\workspace\CVSforANT\build\build.xml:8: Failed to 
read input from Console.
Comment 1 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-09-02 16:31:52 EDT 
As detailed in the Eclipse readme, the input task works the same as Eclipse 
2.1 if you run the Ant build in the same JRE as Eclipse (which was the only 
option in Eclipse 2.1).

For the input task to work by default run your build in the same JRE as 
Eclipse. See the the JRE tab of your Ant launch configuration.
To use the input task in a separate JRE you will need to provide an input 
handler.

Thanks Darin,
For those not in the know you can set the jre ant uses from the ">run>external 
tools" menu option.
