Target Aliases?

[Matt Raible <li...@raibledesigns.com>]

I haven't done any research on this, but I thought this would be a nice 
feature in Ant.  It'd be cool to be able to specify target aliases.  
For instance, in my webapp (based largely on examples from Java Dev 
with Ant), I have a number of targets for compiling - compile-common, 
compile-ejb, compile-web.  If a user wants to compile everything, they 
have to type "ant compile-web" - where most Ant users are probably used 
to typing "ant compile".  Rather than creating a new target that 
depends on, or calls upon, "compile-web", I'd just like to give this 
target an alias.  For example <target="compile-web" depends="webdoclet" 
alias="compile">.  Whaddya think?  Is this a stupid feature request?

Thanks,

Matt
