I know this is not a smart question.
I need to use ant from command line and there is Ant plugin in Eclipse, so I have tried to specify ANT_HOME in Eclipse to be set to the directory of that plugin.
C:\Users\Nikolay>ant
'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Should I install a separate Ant from Apache to enable Ant from command line?
Probably the best solution is to install ant, but you can use the binaries that are from Eclipse too. You will find the binaries under
eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.8.2.v20120109-1030. Note that the plugin the version may be different on your machine. Something like:${eclipse_location}\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.8.2.v20120109-1030\bin\antshould work. But this should be used only for solving something quick, until you can install ant. Since you will upgrade your Eclipse/plugins and the paths will change and you will need to keep updating your environment variables this way.
