Even though this change has happened for WSIT but it completely
overhauled the existing build.xml. It introduced bunch of redundant
targets that do nothing (just hooks) and redundancies all over the
multiple build.xmls that are now introduced.
I'm in the process of preparing an email listing out all the tweaks that
had to be done for making WSIT compilation Netbeans "friendly".
In summary, it is indeed not as clean as it seems like. Other IDEs like
IntelliJ and Eclipse don't modify the existing build.xml.
