IDEA also will show targets with description fields in black vs. grey
for targets with no description.

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.
