Eclipse 3.3.* ships with Ant 1.7.0

We were able to come up with a workaround for the Ant problem on Windows 
and decided to ship with the known problem for Mac and Unix machines as 
outlined in 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=187993 where it also 
outlines that this problem is fixed in the Ant 1.7.1 stream.

We will move to the Ant 1.7.1 release as soon as we can get our hands on 
it and it makes it through the Eclipse IP review.
Unfortunately this is not looking good for Eclipse 3.3.2 as we are running 
out of time.

Of course a user can point the Eclipse Ant home to a new Ant release and 
make use of Ant 1.7.1 as soon as it is released if they so desire.

Thanks for the bandwidth

AW: Eclipse still using Ant 1.6.5 because of bug in Ant 1.7.0






Also that statement does not mean that Eclipse ships an older version of 
Ant.
If you have a look, you'll see that it's 1.7.0.

$ cd ECLIPSE_HOME
$ cd plugins

--> 1.hint: the name of the plugin is org.apache.ant_1.7.0.v200706080842

$ cd org.apache.ant_1.7.0.v200706080842
$ cd bin
$ .\ant -version

--> 2.hint: Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006
 
Tried with Eclipse JEE
  Version: 3.3.0
  Build id: I20070621-1340
