Description Brian Cort CLA 2005-11-23 13:03:31 EST 
An option to generate an ANT build file from the the JAR export wizard would be very helpful.

Should also have an option on the jar export description file popup menu to generate a buildfile.

Rationale: I often start with the jar export wizard, but as a project progresses start to add additional steps to the build process. This would remove the requirement for recoding the basic jar instructions in ANT, and provide a very helpful starting point for expanding the build process.

Eclipse has a very nice "export ant buildfile" feature.  I think it would be a natural fit to include jardesc's inside the exported buildfile.
