Please point me to the "last time".

If I had know it, I could have spent my time on different things (the
change right now is trivial, all that needs to be done is to make
<project>'s default attribute required again).

I'm not convinced that my second example in my answer to Stephane is
clearer than the first one.

Why?

People will use a target-less build file only for a very straight

all and jar it" process will need targets anyway.

It's not that we recommend to move all tasks at the top level, just
that we don't take away the simple things.
