It would be interesting to see how/if it could be merged in with the C/C++ extension to Eclipse, which of course is itself using Ant. The C/C++ Eclipse addon currently uses Make, and AutoConf and AutoMake etc, and only really works on Linux as yet. Perhaps it might be worth lookin on the Eclipse C/C++ newsgroup and seeing if any of the IBMers have noticed this announcement by sending them an email.
