| |
| <p>Add new Ant tasks and types through the Ant preferences page. These tasks and |
| types will be available for buildfiles running in the Workbench without, having |
| to use taskdef or typedef in the script declaration (For more on taskdef or |
| typedef see the Ant documentation in |
| <a href="http://ant.apache.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://ant.apache.org</a>). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To add a new task or type:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ant.ui.AntRuntimePreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <b>Ant > Runtime</b></a> preference page.</li> |
| <li>Click the <b>Tasks</b> tab or the <b>Types</b> tab.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Add Task</b> or <b>Add Type</b>.</li> |
| <li>Provide a name and class for the task or type.</li> |
