+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.
