Hi, since you lowered the price to what I would spend on a tool I
decided to buy your product. I imported an ant build file I use in my
development (IntelliJ) and this is my 'project' build file. This file
imports other 'module' ant build files. When I open the project build
file I don't see the imported build files. How can I see all of the
build files at once?

Thanks

Hi,
You should see all the targets from the imported files in the
'Targets' view. You can play them and make changes to them.
Also, when you click the 'save' button you will see an option to save
the imported files too.

As for manually editing the xml, you can do that only for the 'main'
build file for now.

I only saw the project targets displayed, not the module targets,
which were in the imported ant files.

The problem with the virtual import task is that it does not show if
any error occurred reading the imported file.

If you do not see the imported targets it can be because of either of
these reasons -

1. incorrect path.
2. virtual ant had an error reading the imported file.


for 1 - Note that the import task, resolves pathnames differently from
the rest of the ant tasks.
from the documentation of 'import' -

"The file to import. If this is a relative file name, the file name
will be resolved relative to the importing file. Note, this is unlike
most other ant file attributes, where relative files are resolved
relative to ${basedir}."

to find out about 2, try opening the imported file separately in a
different instance of Virtual Ant. See if it gives any errors.

I loaded the imported build files without a problem. Don't take this
the wrong way but I don't think this application should have left beta
yet.
