Auto build project with ant in Eclipse

Who needs Eclipse if there is a shell?

In Eclipse, go to Project's properties and add a new builder of type ant.

On tab Main provide:
  • Build file
  • Base Directory
  • Desired arguments that will be passed to ant ( -Dproperty=value style)

On tab Targets provide ant tasks for targets Auto Build, After a Clean.

Now you can just change sources and save the source file, 
Eclipse will execute "Auto Build" target right away.
