Maybe this can help a lot with tool support. But these tools must be offered everywhere, in Eclipse, in IntelliJ Idea, in JDeveloper, in Borland, in NetBeans and so on. Every vendor must implement such tool support. This is a lot of work to be done on many places, basically the same work.
Eclipse implemented a debugger, which is another sign of the scripting nature of Ant files by the way. But Eclipse still does not offer even 5% of the support for writing Ant script like it offers for writing Java classes. Okay, it is not pain like hell to write Ant scripts. But you all here could admit that writing Ant scripts is not perfectly convenient... ;-) "Scot P.
