Description host 2005-10-27 09:21:16 UTC 
When you right click on an Ant script in the Projects or Files window then in
the context drop-down menu the options "Run Target" and "Debug Target" are
available where you can select a single target to run or debug. But when you
open the node of the Ant script an select there a single target node then only
"Run Target" can be found in the context drop-down menu and niot "Debug Target".
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2005-11-01 16:38:36 UTC 
Can not be implemented in ant debugger, we need some hook from ant module to be
able to do that.
Jesse, any suggestion?
Comment 2 host 2005-11-02 07:59:18 UTC 
Sorry, but I do not get your comment here: I mean this functionality is
seemengly already existent. What I wanted to point out is solely that the GUI
here is not 100% consistent. Please try out what I am writing in my original
comment. ...or is  it really more that a GUI issue?
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2005-11-02 09:45:15 UTC 
It's not just a GUI issue, it's an architectural issue. There are two different
modules providing these actions.

The ant debugger has no way to add the action there. Jesse, what would it cost
to e.g. read the actions from some folder on SFS?
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2005-11-02 20:54:45 UTC 
Would be possible to read actions for targets from a SFS folder. I don't
remember if there is a clean API for doing so - probably not, just FolderLookup.
Would require an arch.xml entry.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2013-01-15 07:52:06 UTC 
It is there already.
