<h1> Ant editor</h1>
<p>The Ant editor provides specialized features for editor Ant buildfiles.
Associated with the editor is a Ant buildfile specific <b><a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/views/ref-view-outline.htm">Outline view</a></b> which shows the structure of the Ant build file.
It is updated as you edit 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 <b><a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/views/ref-view-package-explorer.htm">Package Explorer</a></b> using pop-up menus or by clicking
the file (single or double-click depending on your preference settings).
