The codebase I work on relies on the ant version to be hardcoded into the eclipse project settings.

This causes a problem when you switch between versions of eclipse the ant version has usually been changed.

As we hold the project settings in source control this causes a problem if one person updates their eclipse version they get the wrong ant version.

Is there any way in which I can get the Ant home value which eclipse holds into a variable that could be used in the project settings which would mean any version of eclipse could be used?
