Description Paul Austin CLA 2002-10-18 11:43:52 EDT 
The current version of eclipse (2.0) runs the ant tasks in a mode that stops 
users from using eclipse while ant is running by displaying a progress bar 
dialogue box.

This means that if users which to use ant to run a java program with the JPDA 
debugging enabled and debug the program in eclipse they have to run the ant 
script outside of eclipse.

For the next version it would be useful if you could run ant like you can 
run/debug internal java programs in the background and have the console output 
tied to the selected ant execution (see the debug perspective for what I mean).

In the side stream development for the external tools project, a prototype for 
this feature has been coded.  We should ensure to make use of this code when 
the direction of external tools support is fully mapped.
