Possible causes: Missing specification of a launch type (missing plug-in) Incorrect launch configuration XML --------------------------- After cleaning and reinstalling, the log is basically empty. So the above errors my be red herrings. I tried creating a new user and running eclipse, but no luck (no ant preferences, no ant builder, no ant editor). I tried installing Sun's jdk, and got the same result. I tried to find a difference between my machine's eclipse installation and another f14 installation (with working ant features), without luck. The /usr/lib64/eclipse tree looks the same regarding ant jars. It seems like the ant jars are not being recognized on my machine. Possibly a classpath issue. But I can't see the difference between the two machines. -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
