roboRIO not found

[JohnGilb]

I did a little experiment.

First, using cmd.exe, I pinged roboRIO-488.local:

C:\Users\John>ping roboRIO-488.local -4

Pinging roboRIO-488.local [169.254.82.206] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 169.254.82.206: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64

Then I went into C:\users\john\wpilib\java\current\ant\build.xml, and modified this:

<property name="target" value="roboRIO-${team-number}.local" />

into this:

<property name="target" value="169.254.82.206" />

I was able to deploy code successfully.

The question is... why is Eclipse unable to resolve roboRIO-488.local, while Windows (via cmd and explorer) can resolve it easily?
