Re: [platform-ant-dev] Open Ant Script action

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think a "Go to file" action in the Ant View and/or the external tools view 
would give us the functionality we want here. These views allow the user to 
easily choose an ant script. We just need the action to open an editor on the 
files.
