[oXygen-user] support for ant variable completion

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hello Jakob,

Currently Oxygen doesn't have this level of content completion support 
for ANT build files. It treats them as plain XML.
The ANT editor from Eclipse has content completion for variables/parameters.

The ANT validation from Oxygen uses an incomplete DTD, so it will report 
some errors when there really aren't any. Replacing/updating the ANT 
version from Oxygen won't change this. Oxygen v14.2 bundles Apache ANT 
1.8.2. You can see the versions of all Oxygen libraries/components in 
Help > About, Libraries.

We have on our issue tracking tool a request logged for improving ANT 
build file support for editing and validation. I've added your vote.

Regards,
Adrian
