Run File action is disabled

Sometimes it's useful to run a single file (with main) when working on a platform project. Currently it's possible only by creating and running a test case for that file, but that's not a good solution, because:
1. you have to write a test case only to run a file.
2. you cannot leave the test case, because it will be run on the continuous integration server, which is not desired
3. you cannot just @Ignore it, because you will have to comment out the @Ignore each time you want to run the file, and it will skew test statistics on CI

Why the "Run File" action is greyed out?
