Description

It would be good if it would be possible to include the name of the build file in the function withAnt(...), I could not find any information in the documentation that this is possible. Because our build files are not called build.xml by default, so we would have to be able to specify a different name.

Research direction

Start by locating the withAnt(...) entry point in the ant-plugin and inspect how it selects the build file. Confirm the existing default behavior, then define completion as allowing callers to specify a non-default build file name and documenting that option.
