Maybe we could specify the default/main target in the project descriptor?
Or maybe we give the targets names and than hook onto a target by name:
<depend project="jakarta-ant" target="bootstrap"/>
jakarta-ant.xml
---------------
<project>
<target name="bootstrap">
<depend project="jaxp" target="1.0.1"/>
<script name="bootstrap"/>
<home nested="bootstrap"/>
<jar name="lib/ant.jar"/>
</target>
</target>
</target>
</project>
Maybe if there is always a "default" target than if a target= attribute
isn't specified it will be used.

I wasn't thinking that way, I posted a question about using the digester
with the profiles in there current form so someone can help me do it. I'm
sure it can be done I was just pushing for clarity in the descriptors.
