I have recently installed Eclipse Galileo with the PHP Developers Tools. I plan to install the Flash Builder 4 Plug-in to do ActionScript development as well.
I want to use Eclipse to both create an ant build script and execute it to compile ActionScript docs from an ActionScript 3 code library.
The problem is that when I try to run a build.xml file (which every site that answers the ant build questions says it should handle automatically) I never see an option to run it as an Ant Build, not can I find any way to associate XML files to Ant in the Preferences or External Tools dialogs.
I;ve seen numerous tutorials on build Ant build files, but never anything about running the actual build script.
Try to install “Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools” component. It’s in “Web, XML, and Java EE Development” of “Galileo – http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo” repository.
