Hello N++ users.

I'm a recent convert to N++ and must say that I'm really liking it.

In my work I use Ant alot, specifically for Java ME dev so I was looking at how we could integrate that into N++. A standalone plugin would seem overkill as the functionality is very basic and pretty similar to what is currently offered by the lightexplorer. Ideally I would like to integrate something into this plugin that on a right click on a file...
1) detected whether the selected file was XML or not
2) opened it and scanned for target="targetname" tags. These cannot be nested so no proper XML parsing is required.
3) displayed these targets in a sub menu

On clicking one of these targets the plugin would run it and pipe the output to the console.

Has anyone done or looked at doing anything similar? I'm happy to invest some time in this to get it working but would ideally like to add it to an existing explorer plugin - I don't think it should take very long. Anyone interested?

Regards,
Mark
