The arguments field of the Edit External Tools dialog should be managed better. 
For example, with an ant tool, browse variables, and select ant targets. choose 
a target to run and press OK. Then do the same thing, selecting the same 
target. In the dialog's argument field, the target shows up twice. Running the 
tool will run the target twice.

If the user selects a new group of ant targets, the old group of ant targets 
should be removed from the arguments field.

Makes sense.  It's remotely conceivable that the user will want to run the 
same task multiple times, but I doubt this is the norm.  They can do so by 
copy/pasting the arg.

Problem solved in the new external tool work.

Note: new external tool work is not yet released to the head stream and won't 
for a while yet.
