I downloaded the Eclipse PDT 2.0 GA release (Eclipse 3.4), however, it doesn't look like the Ant tools are included in this package. How can I install the eclipse Ant tools (editor, executable, etc...)?

Not quite sure what you're looking for, but here's a list of the Eclipse Ant plugins:

Thanks for looking, I had seen that page but it didn't lead me in the right direction.

So I found the answer to my own question. You need to install the Eclipse Java Development Tools. These can be found under Ganymede > Java Development > Eclipse Java Development Tools in Help > Software Updates > Available Software.

Thanks, I just had the same problem, and as you said, the Java Development Tools contained Ant.
Once you get Ant up and running, you may run into a related problem - this warning in all your Ant files:
No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document.
The details are in this Stack Overflow question, but the short answer I used was to add this minimal DTD to my build files:
<!DOCTYPE project>

Glad it helped you out, it took me a couple hours of wandering around the web to find the answer.

It seems like there ought to be a better option. Ant is a stand-alone tool. You ought not to have to load all the Java tools just to get Ant.

This drove me crazy a couple days ago. In Galileo the update process is slightly different, which is bad forward design if you ask me (but I digress). Here's how you do it in Eclipse 3.5.
Help > Install New Software
From "Work with:" dropdown choose "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"
Then expand "Programming Languages" and choose "Eclipse Java Development Tools".
You could install a different plugin, but this is the standard Eclipse Install.
