ant4eclipse Exception whilst resolving the classpath

I am attempting to build an Eclipse Java project at the command-line using Ant. I will then use this within Jenkins. I have been using ant4eclipse with the associated documentation and examples, but cannot get past the below error. The closest thing in stackoverflow is ant4eclipse classpath problem but I cannot figure out how to adapt this to my situation. Any ideas?

BUILD FAILED
/home/phil/git/backend-testing/backend-tests/build.xml:31: 

The following error occurred while executing this line:
   /home/phil/git/backend-testing/backend-tests/a4e-jdt-macros.xml:77:
    org.ant4eclipse.lib.core.exception.Ant4EclipseException: 

Exception whilst resolving the classpath entry '[EclipseClasspathEntry: path:

   'com.paralant.paravise.model': 'A precondition has been violated: The parameter 
   'javaProfile' is not supposed to be null.'

For some reason, the Ant4Eclipse.org team has not updated their distribution binaries in a long while (since 2010!). This is strange because its under active development.

You can get the most recent successful build here: http://hudson.nilshartmann.net/job/ant4eclipse/lastSuccessfulBuild/ https://github.com/ant4eclipse/ant4eclipse/releases

The classpath parsing is fixed in the latest versions.

There is a brand-new release A4E_2018-01-03 on GitHub:

https://github.com/ant4eclipse/ant4eclipse/releases

Use <installedJREs> to define your runtime environment. But there is now also a default that worked for me.

ant4eclipse doesn't include the necessary profile for JDK 1.7. Here's how I solved the problem: Inside the org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar in the /plugins directory of Eclipse the new JavaSE-1.7.profile and the updated profile.list can be found. Copy those into the ant4eclipse jar file under /profiles and everything should be fine
