Description Aldo Eisma CLA 2002-05-22 07:05:04 EDT 
When you make an error in an Ant build file (in this case xml that is not well-
formed) and you select Run Ant ... from the pop-up menu for the Ant, you get an 
error prompt "Could not parse Ant file" without any further explanation.

It would be helpful to display the same message as you would get in the console 
when running a target as external tool.
"D:\eclipse\workspace\Hello\hello.xml:4: The content of elements must consist 
of well-formed character data or markup."
