-projecthelp

Hey,

Is there anyway to suppress the Subtargets when doing ant -projecthelp.  We
use a lot of intermediate subtargets that make the help less than useful
when it scrolls off the screen.

Thanks.

Doesn't look to be (see lines 585-586 in Main.java) -- but if you wanted
to add that, you could change it :) ...

Or, write a little shell script to run when you want to display only the
main targets:

ant -projecthelp | \
  awk '/^Main targets:/,/^Subtargets:/' | \
  grep -v "^Subtargets:"

(Writing a DOS script for it is left as an exercise for the reader :)
