No, "Run As" on build.xml does not have an "Ant Build" option either.

It seems like there is a plugin missing or an exception loading the
plugin.  But I understand that ant support is included in the base
package.

I tried removing ./.eclipse and my workspace, and reinstalling all of
eclipse.  Still no luck.  I also ran a fresh install from yum on a
different machine (CentOS 5.4), and all the ant features were there.

Strange - I must be missing something simple.
