Description Jesse Glick 2004-05-05 16:09:49 UTC 
There are too many bugs in the current structure
editing support for Ant scripts, mainly having to
do with file encoding, and changes in whitespace
and attribute ordering which are not VCS-friendly.
To fix these things properly would require usable
APIs from the XML team, but nothing is happening
in the XML modules and the API is not being
stabilized. Therefore for D I will simply remove
the structure editing capability; you will have to
edit the scripts as text to make changes. (Code
completion is available in D, however, which
partially makes up for it.)
