Both of those are just methods (on Object IIRC?). So these methods
just call out to some buildr specific code and create the underlying
project objects.
If you "execute" the buildfile script you should be able to get a list
of all the projects through the method "Buildr.projects" so in theory
you could traverse the project graph and get all the information you
need to do the ui for an intellij plugin.
Put something like the following at the end of a build script to get a
feel for it
Buildr.projects.each do |project|
puts project.name
end
Buildr.application.tasks.each do |task|
if task.comment
puts "#{task.name_with_args}: #{task.full_comment}"
end
end
