[platform-ant-dev] ant editor enhancements -- new bug ids

["Shackelford, John-Mason" <john-mason.shackelford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kudos to the Platform Ant team. I have been using and loving the ant support
in the 3.0 builds. Eclipse's ant support has certainly more useable and
reliable than it has been before. Thanks for your hard work!

I have been brainstorming in regards to improving the ant editor since I am
eager both to extend the capabilities of Eclipse and to develop some
facility at writing Eclipse plugin code. This morning I added the following
bugs in bugzilla:

49380 [ant editor] editor outline should have icon for macrodef
49383 [ant editor] add support for code templates
49384 [ant editor] add preferences and actions for code genera...
49385 [ant editor] add code formatting action
49386 [ant editor] code assist should include previously defin...
49387 [ant editor] add to outline 'sort-by-build-order'
49389 [ant editor] add action to sort targets within a build file
49390 [ant editor] code assist for tasks links to ant manual

I have a number of other ideas but there is plenty of work here :).

Since I would like to work on some of this myself, and partially because I
didn't want to see any of these items turned down due to lack of resources,
I assigned them to myself. I am ignorant of standard operating procedure so
if I've gone about this wrong way, please feel free to correct my work.


Thanks,
