Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-4432:
----------------------------------
I know rmuir opened another issue to hide/disable "internal" targets so that
the only ones -projecthelp outputs are things users should actually run, so
"ant -projecthelp" should be fairly useful moving forward, but instead of
making the default target just fork "ant -projecthelp" wouldn't it be better to
have it echo out a summary of the handful of _really_ important tasks? eg:
ivy-bootstrap, test, clean.
i mean ... stuff like the jenkins-\* targets will always need to be "public" so
people can run them, but if the goal is to make "ant" provide a useful intro to
people about the targets available, why don't we just use {{<echo>}} to tell
people about the really important ones, and let them run "ant -projecthelp"
themselves?
Something like...
{noformat}
> ant
[echo]
[echo] Welcome to Apache Lucene
[echo]
[echo] For new developers, the important targets you should
[echo] be aware of are...
[echo]
[echo] Tasks you may need to run once...
[echo] ant ivy-bootstrap
[echo] ant idea (setups up IDE configurations for IDEA)
[echo] ant eclipses (setups up IDE configurations for IDEA)
[echo]
[echo] Tasks that you may run frequently...
[echo] ant test (to run all tests)
[echo] ant clean (...)
[echo] ...
[echo]
[echo] To see a full list of build options run "ant -projecthelp"
[echo]
[echo] Please review BUILD.txt for more information

> The top-level ant default task runs test, which is confusing. Instead it
> should alias "-projecthelp". This is easily possible with a trick: invoke
> ant's main class with <java fork="false"/>.
> Solr has a good default task, it may also use the same trick, but I don't
> care here.
> Lucene's default task is jar-core... Maybe move the above task to
> common-build.xml and let all default targets depend on "-projecthelp" task
> from common-build.xml?
