[jsword-devel] How do you use eclipse to run a default ANT task?

[jsword-devel@crosswire.org]

I believe the problem is how Ant is set up inside Eclipse. The reason you can run the jsword-ant-deploy task may be that it is not using the compiler at all, but only copying files. 
I had this problem and I forgot exactly which solution fixed it ... either you need to put tools.jar into Ant\'s classpath (which is in the preferences window -> External Tools -> Ant) or set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to a JDK (in windows, that\'s in control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables) 

As I recall, that should do it. If not, hopefully I can help because I\'ve had this problem and solved it with earlier builds of Eclipse.
