How about "main" as the default target. It builds all the files that a
developer generally needs to perform every build cycle and creates a minimal
product that ready to be tested in other systems. So what this means in real
terms is different for each project. For some projects this may mean just
building jars, others may build jars and perform some tests, others may build
jars and create a minimal distribution directory layout (like dist-lite in
phoenix).
