| How to have a project with multiple source file types? [message #118502] |

I created a new project from an existing Ant build file. This works fine
for the Java source files, but my project has other source files of other
types, like XML or properties files. I don't see how I can specify those
other files to be in my project, and how I can view and edit them.

The files live somewhere in your project directory structure, right? As
long as you have a plugin that can handle them, you should be able to
just open them and Eclipse will pick the right editor (you can go to
Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations to configure the
editors and file extensions).
Eclipse comes with, obviously, plugins that handle "standard" file types
like Java source, Ant scripts, and others. You'll want to get the Web
Tools plugins (http://www.eclipse.org/webtools) to handle more files
like XML, JSP, etc.
HTH,

This gets to the root of the other problem I'm having. I started with an
existing application directory tree. When I started Eclipse, it asked me
to specify the root of my workspaces tree. I then created a project "from
an existing build.xml". As a result, my project directory tree is not my
application directory tree.
How am I supposed to deal with applications that I want to be buildable
and usable from outside of Eclipse?

I've pretty much resolved this particular problem. I tried just creating
a "Java Project" instead of a "Java Project from Existing Ant BuildFile".
I set the root directory to the root directory of my application
directory. This includes all the files in the application tree.
Now I just have to figure out how to deal with Ant under Eclipse not
seeing the "build.properties" file in my application directory.
