Build.xml opening in editor??

Simple problem. Whenever I build my project, from the menu or from the
ant build pane, it all builds as normal, but also opens build.xml in
the editor for some reason. I doubt this is a bug, but where the
bejeezus do I turn it off?

I think you probably accidentally enabled the "Jump to Source" toolbar button
on the Ant build toolwindow.

Yeah I've done a "jump to source" from the right-click menu, but I assumed that was an action, not some sort of toggle. How on earth do I turn it off?

Not the right click menu. Check that the toolbar button "Jump to source"
isn't toggled on.

Where's this button supposed to be? Neither my ant build pane nor the main window have a "jump to source" button in the toolbar.

Now that you mention it, the ant panel doesn't have this button. As most
other panels have this button I thought ant also had one.

Can it be that the button is selected in the project/package/... panel and
that this is somehow affecting ant build producing the behaviour you see?

I never turn this on, so I'm not an expert on this feature.

If your build causes an error, the build file is also shown.

This question is over four years old now, but I'm seeing this behavior in release 8.1.3.  Is there a solution to this problem?

I found the problem. The "Auto scroll to source" button was checked in the Messages Window that pops up when the ant script runs.
