You could add your own builder for your project.

i know, i can do it using Ant.
but is there a way, where eclipse will do it automatically, like eclipse does the build automatic action ?

Till now it is not known about the automatic build of makefile, it has to be build manually. I haven't used Ant yet. Now will try with it.

You could add either your ant scripts or any program to the builder. Whenever 'build' is triggered, these ant scripts or 'program' will be called.
