This had occurred to me as well. The main problem (and the reason I didn't
request it) is how to keep the target list in the right order. For example,
suppose you have the following targets: clean, build, and deploy. If you
select all three, which should run when? Do they run alphabetically? That
probably won't work for this particular set. Do they run in the order they
are selected? That means you have to Ctrl+Click in the right order, and you
would probably need a place to view the target list as it was being built.
If you don't have a viewable list, how do you know if it's right? Oops,
guess we have to start over from the beginning.

I'm not saying it's impossible. Maybe a text field at the top of the Ant
Build tab could fill in with the selected target list.

BTW, I also find that if I'm wanting to run multiple targets from within
IDEA, I probably will want to just create a single target that I can call
from a command line in case someone who's not using IDEA needs it. For me,
the coolest solution might be a "target-builder" that would actually let me
select multiple targets and then create a new target that would run those
(like Dmitri's "clean-main") for me auto-magically.
