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...)?

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.
