Description Tom Davies CLA 2001-12-03 18:31:29 EST 
I often find myself running ant from eclipse frequently, especially for things
which eclipse doesn't handle, like enhancing JDO classes. It is awkward to have
the extra step of clicking OK on the dialog.

Could we have a 'Run Target >' item on the build.xml context menu, which would
have a submenu of target names?

This would still need to use the ant arguments specified in the dialog box.

Moving to Platform-Ant

It sounds better than the idea of having the targets per project. Not sure if 
it is good or not to use the command lines from the Wizard. Moving to Platform 
UI (External Tools) for comment. Not essential for 2.0.
Comment 4 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-05-24 15:12:42 EDT 
Can now configure an Ant script as an External Tool with a particular target, 
so you don't need to specify the target each time.
