I could switch it up so it just accepts an ant fileset and is usable anywhere. To enable it, you have to check out the source, export the project as a plugin (aka have PDE build it for you), and then shove the jar in your plugins folder. If you need any help just ask. - Rob Max Rydahl Andersen wrote: > sounds cool....how do I enable it ?

You create a source attachment and it comes up as one of the source attachment types. It says "Eclipse Installation" right now.
