Starting ANT with keyboard shortcut [message #64241]

I've posted this before but received no answer, so I'll try it again -
sorry for reposting: is there any way I can start ANT with a keyboard
shortcut?

I have tried it with Windows/Preferences/Workbench/Keys but can't find
any way to start ANT there. Currently, I have to do Run/External
Tools/Run As/Ant Build to get what I need - which is a rather deep menu
link. Alternatively, I could use the context menu of build.xml - which
is much better but still a lot more than e.g. hitting F9.

Hai David,
AFAIK there is no direct shortcut for ant, but i defined a key for "Run Last
Launched External Tool" (eg F9 :). So after starting ant the first time, you
only have to press F9 th next time you want to run your ant-build.
Hope it helped to make your life a little easier ;)

regards,
jochen

Thanks a lot! This may not be a perfectly smooth solution - but it's a
very handy workaround! Hope they'll integrate ANT better soon...

Wouldn't this typically be a feature request?
