How to use/generate ant aka. buildlanguage projects in MPS
Hello,
I want to automate some tasks with my generated files. Therefore I tried to use a buildlanguage project. But there I wasn't able to use a macrodef since I couldn't enter any sequential task calls. So I can't reuse code. Is there something broken with it?
Another approach is to use some concept which generate a buildlanguage project. Generating such a file is no problem, but how can I invoke it? There is the interface IAntScript, but this does not work like IMainClass, which means that I can't run the instances of my concepts directly as ant script. Is there any way to do this?
Many thanks!

Try the new build language (jetbrains.mps.build), available since 2.5. The one you are using is now obsolete. For inspiration, take a look at jetbrains.mps.ide.build solution (that's how we build MPS).
