Checking out a java project from cvs and then creating a 'new java project from existing ant build file' is impossible. In order to create such a java project access to the build.xml (and possibly the entire source-tree) has to be checked out before the project is created. Fix: checkout files before the new project wizard is shown to the user.
I think what is needed here is the ability for the "Create Java Project from Ant file" wizard to browse the remote Ant file (on the CVS server) to create the project and then checkout the relevant project into the newly created project. What would be required is a CVS EFS implementation (which already exists), the ability to browse the EFS from the wizard in order to find the Ant file (does not yet exist) and the ability to perform the checkout (which can be achieved using the ProjectSetCapability API). Unfortunately, we won't have time to investigate this for 3.3.
*** Bug 211461 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This affects Subversion as well. I second juanez' suggestion: Show the new project wizard _after_ checking out. Is there any reason why that shouldn't be the desired order? My workaround: 1. Check out the project as a plain Java project 2. Add an Ant Builder to it It's not quite the same but it does the job.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
