Selecting a target that depends on another target should disable selection of the latter - it will be run by ant anyhow. Currently it's possible to select them both, and as a result Ant runs the "parent" target twice. P.S.: this may become irrelevant if Ant targets are avaiable via project's menu, so one always able to select only one at a time.
Is it possible that this is actually a feature rather than a bug? If you're running several ant tasks together, might it be useful to have a certain task run more than once?
Though I personally cannot see any use for such a "feature", it still may be good for someone. IMHO, that is far from the common case, so if we consider this a _feature_ than (IMHO again) UI should provide means to explicitly request second path over "parent" target (I do not know how - Ctrl+Click or something). Currently, we have no simple way to select one of _alternative_ targets - you must deselect what you have run before first. And this is an inconvenience for most/majority/typical uses. IMHO :-)
This is the same behaviour of Ant running outside Eclipse (at least Ant 1.4.1). Closing.
