Re: [platform-ant-dev] New Ant Support available in today's integration

[Binyan <binyan357@xxxxxxxxx>]

The new support looks great and solves the rmic task
issue.  However if I set build.compiler=modern in my
build.xml, am I getting sun's javac compiler or
eclipse's in the current setup?  I ask because I have
a build.xml file that works from the command line fine
with build.compiler set to modern or jikes, but fails
with compile errors when run from eclipse with
build.compiler=modern (it does compile from within
eclipse with build.compiler=jikes).  

I will try and create a project that can reproduce
this error, but the error messages are as follows:

D:\view\binyan_view\common\servlets\ConnectionManager.java:44:

          ^

On the UI front the Ant Console should IMHO be used
more like the debug console.  By that I mean the
current behavior is to throw up a modal dialog and
lock the UI while an ant build is executing.  For me
at least this can lock eclipse for 2+ minutes for a
full build.  It would be better to kick of the build
and have the Ant Console have a red "Terminate" square
the same as the debug console to stop the current ant
build process.  Users still get the ability to cancel
and the UI remains responsive through out.
