Description Jared Burns CLA 2002-11-13 11:13:42 EST 
Build 20021113

The AntAction appears in the pop-up menu on files with the label "Run Ant...".
The "..." implies that this action will pop up a dialog, but the action really
just runs whatever config you've got for that file.

The label should be changed to "Run Ant".

Fixed. Please verify.
Comment 2 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-13 12:10:07 EST 
Verified.

I still want the dialog to pop up because I have multiple targets in my Ant 
script and I need to be able to choose which ones will be run.  Having the 
dialog pop up only once as it currently does is no use to me.  Changing the 
menu item name does not solve my problem.
Comment 4 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-13 15:20:24 EST 
The new way to select targets is via the Ant view or the Ant launch 
configuration. (If you are using the new external tools "work in progress").

Veronika, I think your request is covered by Bug 17466.
Comment 7 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-11-13 15:43:29 EST 
I tried the Ant View.
It does not list my ant file because the name is not build.xml.
Went to Window -> Preferences -> External Tools -> Ant View.  Changed the name 
to my script name and was able to run script this way.  However, I have many 
scripts with different names so having to change the preferences like this each 
time is annoying.

I looked at Bug 17466.  I would not call this request an enhancement since the 
functionality was there in M1 and M2 under Run Ant... and has been removed with 
this new view approach.

I would be happy if I could add a list of file names to the Ant Build file name 
field.

It sounds like you want to create several launch configs, and just add them to 
your favorites list. Then you get quick pull down access to them.
