[platform-ant-dev] Launching external tools with launch configs?

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems to me that the external tools framework is recreating a concept that 
already exists with launch configs.

I'm curious to know if the ant developers considered using the launch 
configuration framework for ant/external tools. If so, can someone summarize 
why we opted to use a different solution? If not, what do people think of 
migrating the external tools code to use launch configs?

Thanks,
