Description Jared Burns CLA 2002-12-11 15:47:44 EST 
The current "Run" button in the top toolbar of the Ant view has overly complex
behavior. If no targets are "active", it tries to find a selection in the
"Build Files" viewer to launch. However, if there are active targets, it
ignores the selection in the BuildFiles viewer.

These two behaviors (launching the active targets and launching the selection)
should be made explicit by putting a seperate Run button in each viewer.
Comment 1 Jared Burns CLA 2002-12-11 16:12:26 EST 
Done. The Run button in the Build Files pane runs the selection (a selected
target or the default target of the selected build file) and the Run button
in the Active Targets pane runs the active targets.

Please verify.
Comment 2 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-12-12 17:33:31 EST 
Removed the description and added a tooltip for the RunTargetAction.
Verified.
