See comment on http://weblogs.java.net/blog/timboudreau/archive/2004/12/ netbeans_40_is.html if we could do something a little better regarding making debugging work, it would be nice - offering to generate the target was the first thing that occured to me; if there's a known run task that can be deciphered, might not be that hard for the common case. Whether it should really go in the ant file, or do something else is up to you.
