If ant buildfile contains <?eclipse.ant.import?> and its task depends on a target from separate file ant editor produces error “Target build does not exist in this project”.

build_custom.xml

<?eclipse.ant.import?>

<project name="gcustom" basedir="." default="jar">
    <property name="src.dir"     value="src"/>
    <property name="bin.dir"      value="bin"/>

    <target name="jar" depends="build">
        <delete file="${bin.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" />
        <jar destfile="${bin.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${bin.dir}">
            <manifest>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
        <copy file="${bin.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" todir="../src/app/lib"/>
    </target>
</project>

build.xml

romovs,
I shall escalate this issue to the dev team member. They will get back to you on this.

I am having the same problem. I believe this used to work in earlier versions of MyEclipse so this seems like a regression.

Thank you,

Brian
