Installation error on Mac OS X 10.5

[Ajeet]

Hey guys,

I get the following error while installing. I think this might be bug
in 1.4.6 because 1.4.5 is working properly. Essentially its looking
for a class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.unix.Symlink. This
its not able
to find. I tried googling but no luck so far.

However, it says that this is not a bug. Is there some simple
resolution or should I file a bug?

Copy of my reply to your eclim-user mail (for anyone not on that list
and for completeness):

This was a screw up on my part. I just release 1.4.7 which should
resolve the issue.
