| <h1> Ant view</h1> |
| |
| <p class="Para">The Ant view provides a place to view Ant buildfiles and makes it |
| easy to execute a buildfile or a given target within a buildfile. You can add files |
| to the view and expand buildfiles to reveal the targets defined within them.</p> |
| |
| <p>The pop-up menu for this view also allows you to open an editor on a |
| buildfile, execute the selected target or buildfile, and configure the launch |
| configuration used when executing.</p> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> Here is what the Ant view looks like:</p> |
| <p class="Para"> <img align="top" border="0" |
| src="../images/ant-view.png" alt="Ant View" > |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <p>Like other views in the Workbench, the Ant view has its own |
| toolbar. Toolbar buttons are provided for adding buildfiles to the view and for |
| executing them.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Head"> |
| To add the Ant view to the current perspective, click |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.ant.ui.views.AntView)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |

| <h3>Run the Default Target of the Selected Buildfile</h3> |
| |
