If you do add a description field to your important targets you get usage output for free by typing:
ant -projecthelp This should be the first port of call for an ANT user who is new to the build file in question - not the default target. As such, IDEA's bolding and filtering matches very closely the intents of the ANT design. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Sell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2002 12:57 AM Subject: [Eap-list] ant target coloring > hello, > > I want to repeat an issue I brought up a while ago: > > My ant build files are usually structured such that the default target is a > "usage" target, which shows a message describing all available targets and > then terminates.
