Build targets can be executed from:

  1. In the Ant tool window, select the desired target.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • From the context menu of the selected target, choose Run target (or Run build, if you execute the entire build file).

    • Click the App toolwindows tool window run button on the toolbar of the Ant tool window.

    • Double-click the selected target.

Executing a build target from the main menu

  1. On the main menu, click Build.

  2. Click the submenu that corresponds to the desired build file.

  3. Select the desired build target.
