Builds
External tools
Ant is a build tool similar to the "make" feature, but written in Java. It is an Apache open source project. See http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html for more details.
The Ant support allows you to create and run Ant build files from the Workbench. These Ant build files can operate on resources in the file system as well as resources in the workspace.
Output from an Ant build file is displayed in the log console view. Ant output can optionally be displayed in a structured format. Targets and tasks are shown in a tree hierarchy if the output structure tree is enabled in the log console.
You can add classes to the Ant classpath and add Ant tasks and types in the Workbench->External Tools->Ant preferences.
