I've recently installed Eclipse 2.0 (pre-release) Build 20020416, and its
Ant Console does not (that I can tell) allow jumping from compile errors
there back to the source code.  I'd love to be proven wrong though. Are
there improvements in Ant Console since the build I'm running?

It would be nice to have a better view of the build file targets too, as a
tree view perhaps so that I can double-click a target rather than choose
"Run Ant..." from the menu, and select target(s) from another dialog.

The thing that scares me most about Eclipse is that it *looks* like WSAD, so
I'm frightened just looking at it!  :)

Thanks,
    Erik
