• stop ant run from the antrunner tab (context menu)
• Refactoring how AntNode computes its children
• Possible to display project help

• possible to configure the directory where ant is started
• added possibility for an automatic selection of targets with description
• key binding is configurable by the default key customizer
• added key binding for stop ant action
• compiler message switches to the project where the error occurred
• parallel compiling in multiple projects
• support of environment properties
• redesign of property pages. It is more save to avoid user input for the build file.

• Selection of targets to use by additional property page
• Removed 'only targets with description' setting
• Last used target is stored in a separate Properties file. The local properties
  are overwritten so I cannot store values there.

Version 1.3

• fixed bug in 1.2 'only targets with description'

• Reload of ant build files
• If the target has a description it is displayed in the status bar if you move the mouse over the corresponding entry in the target list.
• Added an arbitrary command to let the user modify the call to the ant scriptfile. This might be interesting for users of Windows ME.

• Errors in XML structure are shown when clicking on the node properties.

• Help pages for the property pages

Version 1.0

• Maintenance release

Version 0.9

• If the call to ant wasn't successfully this failure is now detected and presented to the user.
  Known sources of this problem:
  • the path to the ant script is wrong
  • due to an bug in ant: the classpath contains spaces

Version 0.8

• This version is just a bug fix. If you wanted to create an AntNode for a new project an error occurred. This error should now be fixed.

Version 0.7

• The internal name of the Ant-Node was changed from AntNode to AntRunner. This was necessary to use AntRunner. and the OpenTool Ant Tool on the same project. If you have installed the new AntRunner. version you will see a question mark instead of the Ant icon. You have to configure a new Ant Node via the menu Tools -> Configure Ant. To remove the old Ant node with the question mark you have to change the .jpr or .jpx manually.
• Version 0.6b introduced the external JVM for ANT . It is not necessary to use the JBuilder internal JVM for ANT . Therefore the internal JVM was dropped and only the external JVM will be used.
• It is possible to display only targets with description. This is useful if you have many internal targets. So you can add for each target you want to use from JBuilder. a description and only this targets are displayed. Currently you have to change to another project and back or to restart JBuilder to activate this change.

Version 0.6b

• You can use AntRunner in a JVM of its own. ANT called from AntRunner should behave nearly the same as the standalone ant.
