I just got into the habit of adding a target to all my build files that does
exactly that. So, for instance, I might have a target like this:
<target name="targets">
<echo message=""/>
<echo message="Ant build for ${Name} ${version}"/>
<echo message=""/>
<echo message="The following targets are available:"/>
<echo message=" targets Lists the available targets"/>
<echo message=" clean Cleans up the build directory"/>
<echo message=" compile Compiles Java source files"/>
<echo message=" jar Builds the library jar file"/>
<echo message=" docs Creates javadocs from the sources"/>
<echo message=" build Runs compile and jar"/>
<echo message=" rebuild Runs clean, compile and jar"/>
<echo message=" all Runs clean, compile, jar and docs"/>
</target>
If you have targets that you don't want to display, then of course you just
wouldn't add them to the "targets" target.
