<h1> Ant editor</h1>
     
<p class="Para">The Ant editor provides specialized features for editor Ant buildfiles. 
Associated with the editor is a Ant buildfile specific Outline view which shows the structure of the Ant build file. 
It is updated as the user edits the buildfile</p>

The editor includes the following features:

<ul>
      <li>Syntax highlighting</li>

      <li>Content/code assist (including Ant specific templates)</li>

      <li>Annotations</li>
    </ul>

    
<p>The most common way to invoke the Ant editor is to open an Ant buildfile from 
  one of the navigation views or Package explorer using pop-up menus or by clicking 
  the file (single or double-click depending on the user preferences).</p>
