The Explorer window's Filesystem tab displays Ant nodes as described in the following table.
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
| Ant project. Expand an Ant project node to see the targets defined by the project. You can edit an Ant project as an XML file by right-clicking the project and choosing Open. | |
| Ant target. Expand a target to reveal individual tasks. | |
| Ant target with a description. These targets are more visible to the user. For example, running ant -projecthelp at the command line shows these targets first. | |
| Ant task. | |
| Data structure. | |
| A project with an XML parse error. | |
| A data structure that is out of place. To see a tooltip with an explanation of the error, place your pointer over the file node. |
You can view and edit Ant scripts that are not stored in a directory (for example, scripts in a JAR or FTP filesystem) if the filesystem supports it. You cannot run these scripts, however, because Ant cannot handle the IDE's special filesystems.
