Re: [platform-ant-dev] External tools and Ant UI

>External tools can be run via the launch configuration dialog or via the
external tools history.

Ant...").
I think a broadening of this notion could provide a very nice set of
features.  I envision a "Run", "Run with..." story that is similar to the
"Open", "Open with..." story that currently exists in the navigator/package
viewer.  Did we investigate something like this in the past and decide
against it?

Attached is a document (in HTML and plain text) I'm working on that
explains
where I'd like to go with Eclipse's external tools and Ant integration. I'd
appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks,
