Eclipse relation to ant

Hi

Two questions about Eclipse.

1.) When I run Eclipse, and do a build, it that done separately from
what is specified in the Ant file?

Isn’t Eclipse just a gui on the entire make process, or does Eclipse
just launch a underlying compile on the contained files?

2.) Where do I find instructions to attach to and debug a running
process? Is it possible to just debug a process I launched directly
from Eclipse?

Thanks,

I don't know; I've never used ant, just Eclipse.

??? I don't understand what you're asking here?

Yes, easily, to the latter question. It's a few more steps to debug an
external app, but it is doable as well. You are talking about Java
apps, right?

I just didn't know if Ant launched the compile of the code, or if it
was launched by Eclispe.
Yes, I am talking about Java applications.
