Eclipse Europa (3.3.0) - Discovered odd behaviour with Ant input task

Ant, Eclipse Add comments

My Ant build script stopped working when I moved from Elipse-3.2.2 to
Eclipse 3.3.0.  It was failing with a null pointer on the input task. 
By process of elimination I discovered that if a defaultvalue was set
in the input task, then it would fail.  That is odd for sure.  I
downloaded Ant 1.7.0 and had no problem executing my build script,
therefore, the problem had to be with Eclipse 3.30.  Through
experimentation I discovered that by setting Ant to run in the same JRE
as the workspace the input task succeeded!
