When you create top level targets, use the "description" parameter.
Then, when you do ant -projecthelp, the names of the targets show up:
<target name="archive"
description="Builds the compressed tarball archive in directory
"archive""/>
$ ant -projecthelp
Buildfile: build.xml
Main targets:
archive Builds the compressed tarball archive in directory "archive"
Default target: ???
$
Now through Eclipse...
You could create special "eclipse" targets that merely rename other
targets. I don't know how Eclipse lists targets (whether by file
location or alphabetically), but this could help:
<target name="01_archive"
depends="archive"/>
I don't have Eclipse up and running, so I really can't test this, but
if Eclipse displays the targets in order in the build file, you could
put them on top. If it lists targets alphabetically, put a number
prefix in front of them.
