ant plugin for eclipse

Hi,

how can I install the ant plugin for eclipse? Yesterday I installed apache-ant, eclipse was already installed before. But eclipse looks the same as before, there are no ant features. So I've taken a look at the files of the ant package - it seems that the eclipse plugin is not included.

Is there an "arch-way" to install the plugin?

Re: ant plugin for eclipse

have you tried to create a "Simple/File" named "build.xml" in your project directory ? Eclipse should recognize build.xml as an ant file, and give you a nice editor for it...
I have the following packages:
'ls /opt/eclipse/plugins |grep ant'
org.apache.ant_1.6.5
org.eclipse.ant.core_3.1.0.jar
org.eclipse.ant.ui_3.1.0.jar
and thats how it works for me...
I also have the option of an ant view
"Windows=>Show view=>Ant"

Re: ant plugin for eclipse

If you really want eclipse to use ant installed with pacman or "by hand",
you can set Window->Preferences->Ant->Runtime->Ant Home...

Re: ant plugin for eclipse

Thank you.

Yes, I've got the same files and also the view is there. I thought, there would have been some ant entries under "->New" on my gentoo installation of eclipse/ant, but I was wrong. Everything's fine.
