Description Lucas Persson

Version:  Eclipse 2.1 M4 and M5

I am using the Ant view.
If I first edits a file with the editor and then
switch to the Ant view with ctrl-F7 the Ant view window seems
to get focus. The color of the window's title bar at least indicates that.
But the focus for input is still in the editor.
For instance pressing the down key does not select the next task in the build 
file. 
Clicking on the title bar on the Ant view will not set the focus on the Ant 
view window either. But if a click on a task then I can use tab and arrow keys 
to move around in the window.

I want to use eclipse without using the mouse, but this bug prevents me from
doing that.

Needs investigation.

Filed Bug 31461 against Platform UI. It looks like selecting views with the
keyboard is totally busted?

We need to override #setFocus properly in the AntView.
