When using a , you sometimes have to write Ant targets for IDE actions. For example, you have to write an Ant target to run a program in the debugger or to compile the currently selected file in the IDE.
If you are not able to write these IDE targets in your project's Ant script, you can set the IDE to read these targets from a separate Ant script.
To map an IDE command to an Ant target in a separate Ant script:
<action name="action_name"> <script>path_to_Ant_script</script> <target>target_name</target> </action>
<script> must precede <target>.
<ide-action name="action_name"/>
