Hi,
You might be interested in AntShellExt:
http://www.elpagestion.com/os_ant_en.shtml
It allows to integrate with windows explorer as your registry trick, but
also to choose the target.
It doesn't work on my box though (windows vista), so I can't tell how useful
it is.

Hello, everyone
I'm a person who uses Windows for development and everyday usage, and
don't
like
typing commands on consoles that much. And, ANT is a more "command-line"
kind of
tool. On the other hand, in most cases, one only calls the "default"
target
of
an XML build file (which probably is "build + JAR + install + test that
project").
So I thought: what if I added an "ANT build" action to the file type
"XML",
and
associate it with ANT? Which I have done with a small registry trick, I'm
adding
it to this e-mail.
To apply the registry file:
- First, make sure that the JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment
variables
are properly defined, and that the PATH environment variable contains
ANT's
bin folder
- Now, extract the ZIP file. One .reg file should come out
- Double click on that file, click on "yes"
Once you apply that registry file to Windows:
- When you right click on an XML file, an option called "ANT build"
will
appear
- If you click that option, ant.bat is launched with as build file
(the -f option in ant.bat) the XML you had right clicked
- It will then execute the default action of that ANT build file
I found that useful, and therefore wanted to share it with you. I hope you
like
it, perhaps one can also add it to the ANT SVN (or CVS?) base.
Have a nice day, everyone
