Description Ryan Cooper CLA 2002-05-31 17:22:25 EDT 
In the Edit Dialog, choosing Ant Targets should have it's own button (the 
button would be disabled unless a valid Ant tool was specified in the location 
field. "Ant Targets" is so conceptually different from the other variables that 
it should not be included in the same selection dialog. The other variables are 
mutually exclusive with eachother, whereas Ant is complimentary. The "Ant 
Targets" option is also still too hidden right now. It needs to be more obvious.

Agree.  I'd also like to pull out the ones for the working directory that are 
not really variables, and make them buttons too.  The layout may be a bit 
tricky.

Defer this until after release 2.0 when we review the UI for enhancements.
Comment 3 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-09-06 15:00:50 EDT 
Fixed in the new external tool support.

Note: new external tool work is not yet released to the head stream and won't 
for a while yet.
