Just a comment on:
"Ant View [Jared B] improve target selection -
perhaps a check box tree"
How about having this support (which would also
work great with e.g. the -find option):
1. Double click (or some other gesture e.g.
ctrl-double click) on the build.xml in the antview
2. The user is confronted with a dialog box similar
to "Find type" (Ctrl+shift+T) in JDT perspective.
Here the default target (if there are any) is
entered in and input text box.
A simple press on enter will run this target (no
fuss - no hassle), and if one starts
to type the list view incremently fiters out the
matching items - just like "Find type" when
the correct one is selected the user press enter -
and the just entered target is run.
3. (optional - one could allow one to enter
multiple targets which ant supports)
This method for entering/selecting targets
minimizes the needed mouse and keyboard gestures needed to execute
ones target - and it would also (in my opinion)
reduce the need for having multiple external tools configuration
for
something as dynamic/versatile as build processes
done with ant :)
