RE: Problem with Ant Integration (and workaround)
Posted by Vincent Massol <vm...@pivolis.com>.
Bill,
I would need to look at the code but I guess there's a good reason for
forking (if only to make it clean!). So I wouldn't quite agree not to
fork simply to add the tools.jar to the CP.
What the user needs to do is to use a JDK not a JRE! That's all. If you
configure Eclipse to use your JDK instead of your JRE, it should work
fine I guess.
Thanks
