Generate Ant build option missing in Build menu
My intellij dosent have the generate ant build tool option that the oficial doc says https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/generating-ant-build-file.htmlenter link description here
how can i make the option appear?
This feature was deprecated and moved into a separate plug-in for those who still need it. So you need to install the Ant Build Generation plug-in to make it available.
We'll update the docs to mention it, thanks for the feedback.
Reason for the deprecation:
The functionality is not maintained, doesn't support all types of projects supported by the IDE and requires manual work to keep the project in a state buildable on CI. It will be removed from the product into a separate plugin, not bundled by default.
The recommended replacement is to use Maven or Gradle for building the project.
