How can I make a workspace-folder level build script visible in the Eclipse Project Explorer?
- by Chris
I have a number of interdependent projects in an Eclipse workspace. Eclipse manages dependencies between them within the IDE but I'm starting work on a master build script that will sit in the folder about all the projects (the workspace folder).
I haven't decided on if I will use Maven, Gradle or Ant/Ivy tet, but my question is, is there a way so that I can see a build script in the workspace folder in the Project/Package explorer? Currently it only shows me projects, but assuming I decide on an Ant build, I want to be able to see the main build.xml file in this window.
I've played around with settings to no avail. Is it possible? If not, should I just set up an external run configuration instead?
