Re: [platform-ant-dev] Proposed functional changes to the Ant View

["Darin Wright" <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx>]

I added a few ideas for this problem in my previous post:

(1) From the navigator, support an action "Add to Ant View".
(2) Drag & Drop
(3) Find operation that searches the workspace for all AntScripts and allows the use to choose one or more (like the "open type" operation in java").

Currently, when the Ant View is created it searches the entire workspace for 
build files (user-configurable, but "build.xml" by default). The view also 
has a "refresh" button which clears the view and performs the search again.

This approach works fine for small workspaces but it doesn't scale well. I 
propose the following:
1. Remove the workbench search at startup.
2. Remove the "Refresh" button.
3. Add a "Search" button which pops up a workspace selection dialog that 
prompts the user to choose where to search. The dialog allows the user to 
multi-select resources from a tree view or choose a working set.
4. Add an "Add" button that allows the user to explicitly add an XML file of 
their choice (again, with a workspace selection dialog).
5. Add a "Remove" button that allows the user to remove an XML file from the 
view.
6. Persist the contents of the view at shutdown.

Questions, comments, or volunteers? ;-)
