I just downloaded and installed the new Eclipse, and using the pinned tutorial here succeeded in getting it to compile my program. However, I have a few questions:

a) How can I configure build.xml to get the .cod to the simulator?

b) How do I setup Eclipse to use the new version 1.7.1 of Ant that
I have installed a C:\apache-ant-1.7.1C:\apache-ant-1.7.1 vs.
the current version in the plugins? Can I add it as a plugin?

c) What are the advantages/disadvantages of adding the library jar's
(net_rim_api.jar & bb-ant-tools.jar) to the project as in the tutorial
vs. adding them into Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries?

and finally:

d) How do I run and invoke the simulator automatically?

Thanks

Here's the rule I use to copy files to the simulator.

a)

	<!-- copies cod files to simulator -->
	<target name="load-simulator" depends="build">
		<copy todir="${simulator.home}">
			<fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="*.cod,*.cso,*.debug,*.jad,*.jar" />
		</copy>
	</target>

b)
Yeah, you can use the new ANT stuff although it's been awhile since I did it and I can't remember exactly what I did I think the idea is to goto eclipse Window->Preferences... and then Ant->Runtime and then change ANT HOME... to the new ANT location....

c) No idea why this would be a good idea.

d) No idea, I just use F11 to start the simulator

Thanks, I finally did figure out that you are right changing Ant Home did the trick, I just had to play with it a minute to figure it out, mainly because I was scared I was going to screw up something. =)

Have to play a bit more with Ant to get it to do what I want.
