Ant file refactoring feature
IDEA very powerful in field of pure java class refactoring. But for me very painful (relatively ;) ) to do refactoring in ant build scripts.
I think it is will be very useful to have some refactorings while ant file editing. For example "Introduce property" "Move tasks to separate file" "Rename task" "Move properties to property-file" etc. etc.
Is somebody share my point of view?? (Sorry if such feature already present in IDEA)

+1 I would love that feature as well.
"Rename task" is already there -- it's come in very handy, I must say.

"Extract Tasks To Target" would work, break out a separate target where
the parent does an <antcall/> or similiar.

it would be great to be able to refactor these monster build.xml files I have seen to often.

That's a good feature...I like my build.xml brief and concise. Also,
extending this integration to Maven (Whatever happened to that plugin, did
not catch up to
Maven rc4?) will be even better.
