Launching from the context menu

Launch shortcuts are available in the context menu of all applicable views - Navigator, Outliner, etc. Run and debug are now separated into different submenus.

The JUnit shortcut allows you to select and launch a single test method.

Breakpoint refactoring support

Java breakpoints are automatically updated when you perform Java refactorings.

Debugging in alternate perspectives

Debugging can be performed in any perspective. When a breakpoint is encountered you will be prompted to switch to the Debug perspective. If you choose to remain in the current perspective, the Debug view and action set will be opened allowing you to start debugging.

You can configure the debugger to open debug related views (Variables, Breakpoints, etc.), in non-Debug perspectives via the View Management preference page (also available from the drop-down menu in the Debug view).

Better code assistance for custom Ant tasks

You can now get more code assist proposals for custom tasks. Boolean attributes, enumerated attributes, and references all present the correct set of proposals. You also get proposals for macrodef elements and any nested element and attributes defined by the macrodef.

Ant preference pages have preview viewers

The Ant syntax, template and formatting preference pages all have a preview viewer so you can immediately see the results of changing the preferences.

Full Template Support for Ant

You can add, edit or remove from the set of Ant templates that will be provided as code assist proposals. See the Ant Template preference page.

Ant Context Menu launching

An Ant build can be invoked from the Run context menu. You can run the entire build file, or open a dialog to select specific targets. You can also select and run individual targets from the Ant editor outline and Ant view.
