Description Rene Brandenburger CLA 2003-06-16 06:35:29 EDT 
It would be nice to have a way to get completion and documentation for custom 
tasks in the ant editor. A task developer could for example provide an xml file 
providing this information ...

Comment 2 David Whiteman CLA 2003-11-12 13:41:49 EST 
I agree fully - we make a lot of use of custom ant tasks and it's frustrating 
when completion doesn't work for them to fill out the attributes of the task, 
etc.
Comment 3 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-03-12 21:35:35 EST 
You will get custom tasks/types and there attributes but there will be no 
mechanism to provide descriptions ect.

Comment 5 John-Mason P. Shackelford CLA 2004-03-16 15:38:01 EST 
Regarding the descriptions... This might be as simple as creating an extension 
point that would allow description data elements to be associated with a fully 
qualified class name.

Comment 8 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-03-16 19:10:51 EST 
The code assist now presents proposals for custom tasks defined via the Eclipse 
extension points, defined in the Eclipse Ant Runtime Tasks/types preference 
page or defined using the traditional taskdef and typedef.

Please verify Jared.
Comment 10 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-03-17 18:20:53 EST 
Additional fix to AntEditorCompletionProcessor to not preclude code assisting 
for attributes of targets and projects (line 947)
Comment 11 Jared Burns CLA 2004-03-19 12:45:13 EST 
Verified.
