[ BUILD # : 201306072301 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_17 ]

I think it might be a little cleaner to use a drop down box for the defined
Maven Global Goals.

Currently when a user adds up to 6 Actions to be shown on the toolbar, these
actions are created as 6 different buttons, but they could be all created in a
single button that has multiple options, much like the Debug Projects button
that has 2 options a user can select from.

I have included 2 screenshots, the first one highlights the view of the toolbar
when a user has created 6 Actions, and the second one shows a proposed, (IMO)
cleaner solution...

Note: I'm using Win 8

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
