Description Adam Schlegel CLA 2002-06-25 10:24:08 EDT 
If you create an External Tool for an Ant script in the workspace, and then
move/rename the Ant script using the Workbench, the External Tool is not
updated. This causes the tool file to be incorrect, and running the tool to
fail. The same behaviour is seen when renaming the tool's project.

This is particularly annoying when working with External Tool Builders that run
for auto builds. Any time a build is run, the tool fails, and reports it to the
user.

Tighter integration should be possible. The workbench should have some way of
communicating with the External Tools that would allow them to stay in synch.

No plans to add this support at this time.

The same issue applies to launch configs (as it does to launch configs for java 
programs too). Nothing planned for 2.1
Comment 4 Darin Swanson CLA 2003-07-18 20:05:12 EDT 
Reopening for consideration for 3.0
Comment 5 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-02-24 19:10:13 EST 
Project rename no longer causes a problem for external tools. See bug 37944 for 
details.

Users really should not move external tool launch configurations.
The rest of the problem(s) should be covered by bug 52686.
