Description Rick Bollinger

2015-12-09 12:51:29 EST

Tried right clicking and choosing Ant Editor. Still it opens in text editor. Unable to add Ant Editor to file 'type' build.xml. Even reinstalled org.eclipse.ant.ui.

Guess I will be manually editing my build files until resolved.

Any attention would be appreciated. Thanks.

Rick

Please check your Error Log view, or the contents of the workspace's \.metadata\.log file for an error message that might hold some clues as to why this is happening.

Just so it's been asked, you've tried opening the file's context menu and used the "Open With..." submenu to manually pick the Ant Editor? A file defaults to reopening with the last editor you used to open it.

At some point I noticed when I started editing my build file for real that the little ant symbol was on the tab. The suggested tags were all for ant. And, the log stopped complaining about ant. 

I guess I am all set.

Thanks,

Rick
