+1 Yeah IDEA reading/reacting to ANT files would be a big plus!  We need to
maintain ANT files since they are used in all our automated nightly and release
builds.  This might be a bit tricky to implement since ANT is so flexible with
target naming and such.  I think it'd be fair if I told IDEA which target was my
build target, clean target and such then it could parse those to get the class
path.
