Hi
I have an issue with using ant after i migrated to 6.5,
Normally in previous version, i could Right click on any XML file and then go to Run As Menu option and could see Ant Build as one of the options,
But in this version, if the XML file is named build.xml then only i get this option, other wise i dont get this option,
I have plain eclipse 3.3 also installed, and i can run any XML file with <project as root element and i get Run As Ant Build option
Why wont this work in 6.5
here is my system info

You will have to go to Windows > Preferences > General > Content Type > Text > XML > Ant Build file and add the name of the build file if its not build.xml.

I’m having the same issue, and that only partly works.

If I go to that pref pane, and add my filename explicitly (build-fat-jar.xml), then I can once again run it as a Ant build.

But looking at that pref pane, there’s already an entry in the list for *.xml — meaning that I should be getting the “Ant build” option on any and all .xml files, right? Clearly, not.

Finally, that pref pane doesn’t let me add an entry to the list like “build-*.xml” — it says that wildcards aren’t welcome at that position in the filename string. Why is that?

[delfuego]

Just to make sure that this is a MyEclipse issue, I just opened my workspace in Eclipse 3.3.2 (without MyEclipse installed), and all .xml files present the option to run them as Ant builds. So this appears to be MyEclipse steppign on that ability, which is a regression.

FYI : I have filed this as an enhancement request.

[delfuego]

Nipun, it’s not exactly an “enhancement” — it’s a bug, given that MyEclipse is both breaking the known and expected behavior of the underlying version of Eclipse and breaking the known and expected behavior of prior versions of MyEclipse. Can you verify that this is being filed as an actual regression bug?

It has been filed as a regression bug.
