Page 412, replace all of paragraph 1:
The Formatter page, shown in Figure C.6, controls tab size, space-for-tabs substitution, line wrapping and tag alignment. The Preview window displays the results of your changes in an example Ant file. For example, change the tab size to 2 and uncheck the Use Tab Characters Instead of Spaces box.

FIGURE C.6 The Formatter page of the Ant Editor preferences.

Page 413, paragraph 3:
change:
Even with all this, a couple of pieces are missing in the Ant support. For example, there is no provision for converting tabs to spaces when you reformat the file. However, if you want to run the Ant task within a separate VM, open the External Tools dialog and go to the Ant launch configuration.
to:
Your Ant task runs within the Eclipse JVM, but it does not have to if the situation warrants. If you want to run the Ant task within a separate VM, open the External Tools dialog and go to the Ant launch configuration.
