| <h1>External tools</h1> |
| |
| <p>Up to this point in the tutorial, we've discussed Ant as if it |
| were the only type of external tool available for use in Eclipse. The fact is |
| that Eclipse's external tools framework handles two broad classes of external |
| tools:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Ant: <a href="qs-82_create.htm">buildfiles</a> and <a href="qs-93_project_builder.htm">project builders</a></li> |
| <li>Non-Ant: <a href="qs-97_standalone_ets.htm">stand alone tools</a> and <a href="qs-96_non_ant_pjs.htm">non-Ant project builders</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> In this section, we look at ways to set up and use non-Ant external |
| tools. |
