Description Darin Swanson CLA 2003-10-07 14:27:16 EDT 
Currently all xml elements that represent an Ant buildfile are "typed" based on 
a string element type.

It would be a better representation to create objects for the various element 
types.

See XmlElement and OutlinePreparingHandler

See suggestions in bug 39231

I am investigating mirror the Apache Ant object model for our outline and code 
assist. It looks promising and I have a prototype working.

The wins here:
We can reuse the information from the AntModel prepared for the outline to do 
code assist.
We will get Ant specific error messages from parsing the build file instead of 
generic XML parsing errors.
Reducing the amount of parsing we do
Much better code reuse in the Ant UI plugin

I marking this one implemented.
There are still issues with generating correct error annotation lengths but 
that really is a separate bug .

We now parse only once (per "dirty" state of the editor)...no more parsing to 
do code completion. The AntModel created for the outline is re-used for code 
completion.

I think we should open smaller scope bug reports for remaining issues as found.
