unable to add empty ant build file to "ant build files"

Hello Thibaut,

IDEA would not add a file to "Ant build" toolwindow unless it has a ]]>
root tag.

I tried to reproduce your scenario on the release build (5766), the message
I got says simply "Cannot add files". Perhaps we should provide better explanation
of what was wrong with the file.

Best regards,

This seems related to
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEADEV-8990 which is supposed to
be fixed in 5755 which i'm currently using.

But I still get an error when i do the following

create a new single module project.

Create a new (empty) file named build.xml wherever in the project

Adding this file as an ant build file (using right click menu), in
order to take advantage of completion, fails with a "cannot add build
files from excluded directories" even if the file is in the src dir
