Re: [platform-ant-dev] feedback

Erich,
I agree with your points about simplifying the simple case. Often, the
current implementation forces me to use the "power" solution when I just
want to do something very simple.

A use case:
Lately I have been running tasks from within the build.xml that the PDE
generates when I do a "Create Plug-in JARs". PDE regenerates this file
every time, and overwrites changes I make to the file. You could argue
that this is a bug in PDE. But I disagree, from the command line I can run
(& order) multiple targets, there is no reason we shouldn't be able to do
so in Eclipse.
