无法运行 Ant 内置 Eclipse

Question

My ant build stopped working sometime recently. I don't know exactly when, since I only do ant builds occasionally in this project. I get the following popup:

The error is only for this project. I can run a build from another project no problem.

The build.xml file can be extremely simple, and still cause the error:

<project basedir=".">
    <target name="init">
    </target>
</project>

I checked Eclipse's log and I get this error:

I was using Eclipse 2020-06. I tried upgrading to Eclipse 2020-09 to fix the problem, but no luck.

JVM according to eclipse is eclipse.vm=C:\java\jdk-13.0.1\bin\server\jvm.dll

The release file in that java folder says:

IMPLEMENTOR="Oracle Corporation"
JAVA_VERSION="13.0.1"

Any idea how to address this?

Answer 1

This seems to be related to the Java used to run the Ant script.

In the run configuration , in the JRE tab , make sure a JRE/JDK is selected (for an existing Ant run configuration it can happen that the previously selected JRE/JDK is lost due to changes in the preferences Java > Installed JREs or when updating Java). If a JRE/JDK is already selected, try another JRE/JDK setting here (if there are VM arguments specify, try it without them, since they might be illegal for the chosen VM).

Answer 2

I got a similar error after upgrading Eclipse to 2022-03. Ant would not run but showed no errors. Then I noticed the java.net.SocketException: Socket closed error in the workspace logs.

Changing the JRE as suggested by the other answer fixed only if I used a recent Java version but I needed to use JDK 1.8. Since I could not fix the issue I simply downgraded Eclipse to 2021-12.

Apparently at least Java 11 will be needed to run Ant in future releases: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579317
