AntFarm is closley tied to the Console plugin. The Console provides a convienent way to display streamed output within jEdit. Console also provides error parsing through a pattern matching scheme that is very powerful. If you would like to add custom pattern matchers to use with AntFarm, refer to the Console documentation. Additionally, Console provides a mechanism for adding custom command interpreters called "shells". AntFarm uses the "Ant" shell to allow quick command line access to some of the features of AntFarm.
