svnant has now been updated in the source to support SVN 1.7, but you'll need to build it yourself.

In a command prompt:

1. Check out svnant into a local directory (username guest, empty password):

   svn co http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse/trunk/svnant/ svnant --username=guest

2. CD into the root svnant directory

3. Build:

   ant makeDistrib

4. Copy the built files from build\distrib\lib into your ANT lib folder (probably C:\Program Files\Ant\lib or C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant\lib)

The inline properties such as svnkit="false" are now deprecated, so you will need to update to use svnSetting as described in the answer above.

Hope this helps.
