Description Vladimir Riha 2015-04-17 17:19:35 UTC

There is a framework called Phing for PHP which is a ant-like tool for php projects. NetBeans supports Phing. The problem is that Phing also uses "build.xml" file for its own tasks. Since some PHP projects are already using Ant, we need both Ant's and Phing's actions in context menu of build.xml file. The issue is that Ant's action is called "Run target" so it may confuse Phing users so they'll expect this action to run Phing while it actually invokes Ant.

Would it be possible to rename "Run Ant Target" in right-click menu of build.xml file to "Run Ant Target"?
