Yes, but the list would still be a tiny fraction of the one in the Run As > Maven build... > Select dialog box. Also, it needn't be a linear list but rather organized hierarchically by plugin, e.g.:

docbkx
     generate-html
     generate-pdf
jar
     jar
     test-jar
     sign
     sign-verify
source
     aggregate
     jar
     test-jar
...

Also, it may not be obvious, but you can use "Run as... / Maven build" (Ctrl-Shift-X, M) shortcut to quickly launch custom goals on selected project (you can also remap shortcut to your own preferences in Window / Preferences / General / Keys). That action remembers created configurations and if there is more then one it will show you selection dialog, so it work ok without mouse.

That's nice, but it still requires manual setup of the configurations. I wish it were more automated.
