False Error Message in Eclipse for Ant Include Task

Question

In my ant build I am including a second ant build file (build.xml):

<project name="Including" default="echoC" basedir=".">

    <include file="build.xml" as="Included"/>

    <target name="echoC" depends="Included.echoB">
        <echo>C</echo>      
    </target>

</project>

build.xml is in the same directory as the including build file and everything is working fine actually. I can run the target echoC and also the target echoB from the included build file is executed first.

What is irritating however is that Eclipse is displaying the error message Target Included.echoB does not exist in this project in the Ant Editor. Does anybody know how to get rid of that?

Thanks a lot for your support!

This seems a bug in Eclipse according to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412809. The comments suggest there is no support for the task in the editor.

Using the import task instead works fine.
