| <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> |
