The Explorer window's Filesystem tab displays Ant nodes as described in the following table.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
![]() |
Ant project. Expand an Ant project node to see the targets defined by the project. You can edit an Ant project as an XML file by right-clicking the project and choosing Open. |
![]() |
Ant target. Expand a target to reveal individual tasks. |
![]() |
Ant target with a description. These targets are more visible to the user. For example, running ant -projecthelp at the command line shows these targets first. |
![]() |
Ant task. |
![]() |
Data structure. |
![]() |
A project with an XML parse error. |
![]() |
A data structure that is out of place. To see a tooltip with an explanation of the error, place your pointer over the file node. |
You can view and edit Ant scripts that are not stored in a directory (for example, scripts in a JAR or FTP filesystem) if the filesystem supports it. You cannot run these scripts, however, because Ant cannot handle the IDE's special filesystems.
