Ant does not work in Eclipse

Hello,
I am using Eclipse 2,1,1 with AntView 2.2.9. In my project, as it gave to perceive, I am using a build.xml of the Ant. My problem is this: In AntView window I click in any of targets to run and nothing happens. What it is happening? It would be some configuration error? I thank any reply.
Thanks,

I haven't tried Ant View, but I've tried the Planty plugin. Its an editor for editing Ant build.xml files and you can get code completion when editing your build.xml.
See http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=177
Good Luck

Eclipse 2.1 has full Ant support with the equivalents of AntView and Planty built in. It could be that the older plugins you have installed are interfering with the built-in versions. I'd suggest removing the plugins and see if that works any better for you.
