Are you trying to build an Eclipse plugin from Ant? You want to use the Ant4Eclipse external add-on for Ant. It lets you build the run-configurations you've made in Eclipse (right click>run as>...) from your .project file. You can download it here and there is a tutorial here .

I attempted to do what you're asking at a previous job without using Ant4Eclipse, I don't remember how I got it working, but I do remember it being extremely difficult.

Edit: you can build an Eclipse update site from the command line, which can be run from Ant. There is some [possibly out of date] documentation here , but I found you a sample from an Apache projects build.xml :

  <target name="build-site" depends="init">
    <copy todir="target/eclipse-update-site/web" preservelastmodified="true">
      <fileset dir="web"/>
    </copy>
    <copy todir="target/eclipse-update-site" file="index.html" preservelastmodified="true"/>
    <copy todir="target/eclipse-update-site" file="site.xml" preservelastmodified="true"/>

    <!-- copy all the features to the target -->
    <copy todir="target/eclipse-update-site/features" preservelastmodified="true" >
      <fileset dir="features"/>
    </copy>

    <!-- see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Update_Site_Optimization -->
    <java jar="${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar" fork="true" failonerror="true"
      maxmemory="256m">
      <arg line="-application org.eclipse.update.core.siteOptimizer"/>
      <arg line="-digestBuilder -digestOutputDir=target/eclipse-update-site"/>
      <arg line="-siteXML=target/eclipse-update-site/site.xml"/>
    </java>
  </target>
