Platform Ant Project New and Noteworthy for 3.2M6


Namespace support for the Ant extension points

The Ant Core antTasks and antTypes extension points now allow for the designation of a URI that the definition should live in. See bug 133190 for full details of all the changes.

Java problem markers from a "javac" build

Running an Ant build that contains a "javac" declaration can produce JDT problem markers for the code that is compiled. The marker generation is controlled by an Ant UI preference: Window > Preferences > Ant > Create problem markers from "javac" results. As well, the "javac" declaration needs to set the "listfiles" attribute to "true" and an Eclipse console must be allocated for the build output.
