Answer 1

You can change what JRE the ant bulid file is launched with inside eclipse.

Right click on the ant file in the ant view and select "Run As"->"Ant..." from the context menu.

Then in the launch dialog select the JRE tab. Note the error message at the top if it can't find the JRE that it expects.

Select a JRE that you have installed or manage install a new one. You can also add vm arguments (enable logging or change memory alocation) if you need to in this dialog.
