Actually, the problem is solved with Eclipse itself. Eclipse can filter out all targets that don't have a description parameter. Use this feature, and names themselves don't matter so much. This also works in the command line since "ant -projecthelp" will only print out targets that have a description parameter.
If you do want to specify names, then make top level targets start with an uppercase letter (or be all uppercase) and internal targets start with a lowercase letter (or be all lowercase). After "z" comes the curly braces, the pipe, and the tilde character -- all characters with special Unix meanings.
