I had mentioned this in the mailing list and in the newsgroup, and Jared requested me to file this issue in the Bug report. Well the Ant View needs to have a "refresh" feature. The reason why I am saying this, is suppose I have a very simple ant file, and I have included the ant file in the Ant View, and after adding this file to the ant view, i decide to edit the ant file and add another target. Now the Ant View does not reflect my changes. I thought that if I click on save, the Ant View will show my changes, but it doesn't. The work-around for this is to remove the file from the Ant View and re-add it. But I don't think this is a good solution because I may need to edit the ant build file several times. I think that u should have a "Refresh" button on the right hand side of the Ant View. Actually it should work like this.. if u click on save, the Ant View gets refreshed, and if u click on the "Refresh button" on the Ant View, the Ant View will obviously get refreshed. Another thing.. though an Ant file can be added using the "Add Build File" feature from the Ant View, I think that having a feature allowing the user to drag and drop the Ant Script from the Package Explorer to the Ant View, will be something interesting. I don't know if this can be implemented, cause I don't know the how the internal things in Eclipse works like. Saumendra
The Ant View now updates dynamically. The drag and drop issue is unrelated, but I plan to add it as soon as I get some free time. In the future, please file one bug report for each issue you want to raise. It's easier for us to track outstanding issues that way. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26554 ***
