Yes - great - but I would just suggest to also include my (they do not
exclude each other)
proposed solution as it does not require ANY use of the mouse! (IMOH
something eclpse UI lacks emensly!)

As per my last comment on the Bug 25982
(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25982), I'm now suggesting
that
instead of using a checkbox tree viewer, we just switch to being
selection-based. The interaction required to run a target would thus be
reduced to selecting the target(s), right clicking, and choosing "Run".
