Thanks, but I don't want a list of every goal, just the ones that are
actually available in the current POM. For instance, I have a simple
POM that only adds in the docbkx plugin. Having to go through Run >

It would be nice if Maven could detect the plugins that the POM has
declared and populate the Run As menu accordingly. For example:
Maven build
Maven clean
Maven docbkx
\- generate-html
generate-pdf
generate-text
Maven install
...
This is the kind of thing I'm used to in Ant. For instance, if you add
a new target to an Ant build file, Eclipse will automatically show it
in the Outline pane. You can then can right-click on it, choose Run As
> Ant Build, and Eclipse will run the target. It's that simple. No
need to manually create Run Configurations or pick a goal from a list
of hundreds over and over again. It's disappointing that Maven is a
step down from Ant in this regard.
