| <h1> Ant View</h1> |
| <p> |
| 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> |
| Here is what the Ant view looks like: |

| </p> |
| <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> |
| 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)")'> |
