Main targets are those that have "description" atrribute:
<target name="mytarget" description="mytarget"/> is considered main target. > How do I make a target as Main target By adding a non-empty description attribute. > what is the purpose of it ? Well, it is supposed that you are going to add description to the important targets and leave the other with no description. It is not alway the case - I tend to describe all targets. I like "description" attribute more than XML comments, becuase they are shown by ant -projecthelp and I can get an idea what the targets do without reading the build script.
