You want an easier way to build Ant targets.

Open the Ant view by selecting Window→ Show View→ Other→ Ant. When you want to build a target, just double-click it in the Ant view, or right-click it and click Run.

The relatively new Ant view can make things a little more convenient, especially if you just want to double-click targets to build them. To open this view, select Window→ Show View→ Other→ Ant (or Window→ Show View→ Ant if you’ve opened this view before).

As shown in Figure 7-16, this view gives you an Ant-based overview of build files. To add a build file to this view, right-click the view, select Add Buildfile, and navigate to the build file you want to display. The view will display the targets in the build file; you can build various Ant targets by double-clicking them, or by right-clicking them and clicking Run.
