This section describes some of the features and options that are available for Ant.
There are several settings which are specific to editing Ant files. These preferences can be configured by going to Window → SlickEdit Preferences → Languages → XML/Text Languages → Ant → Options and are pictured below.
The following preferences are available:
Find targets imported from external build files - When set to True, SlickEdit will find targets imported into the selected file from other Ant files.
Use visibility to filter goto-definition matches - When set to True, Ant goto-definition match results will be filtered based on visibility.
Identify Ant files on open - When set to True, all XML files are parsed when opened to identify Ant build files.
