http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18506 Determine "level" of target from prefix in target name Summary: Determine "level" of target from prefix in target name Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, main targets that show up in ant -projecthelp are determined by whether or not the target has a description attribute. This is somewhat annoying when I have target names that are pretty much self-explanatory and I don't want to bother with a description. I've observed an interesting convention where non-main targets are prefixed with a "-". This really improves the ability to glance at build file source and know what are the main targets and what are the helper targets. So what I propose is that -projecthelp uses a standard (and/or configurable) prefix to determine non-main targets.
