title: What is the best way to integrate an external build tool into Eclipse?
body: <p>I've just started using Eclipse for Python development since we can make use of a lovely plugin I've found to enable distributed pair-programming.  Anyway, the next step to getting Eclipse to integrate properly with our existing environment, would be finding a way to drive our current build tool (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/waf/" rel="noreferrer">Waf</a>) from within the IDE.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is, is there a way I can set up Eclipse to drive Waf in a <code>Make</code>-like fashion?  I see for <code>Make</code> it has some quite advanced functionality, such as being able to work out what targets are available etc.  Bonus points for telling me if there is a way I could go as far as this! (I suspect the answer is that this is all built in to the Make plugin for Ecplipse).</p>
