a question of ant in idea

What are you trying to do? Create an Ant build file?

i am a freshman of intellij,i know from handbook that i can use ant
tag without resource config.but when i create a ant build.xml there
was no any tips ,when i click right button of mouse i see there is a
command "add to ant file" but after i did it ,there was nothing
happened either but add a build file in ant build block.if sth i have
not configed? thanks for helping me

yeah ,i only want to create a build.xml.i think when i press the "<" i should popup the help infomation,but there is nothing happen.

I think that's definitely an IDEA bug. If you had a tag I think IDEA would start showing help information. You might want to start with a generated build file (in the menus, Tools->]]>Generate Ant Build)

You need to add the build.xml file to the Ant Build panel on the right.
Use the button to add the file and IDEA will then recognize it as an
Ant file. You may also need to start the ]]> tag as well.
