Mark to hide

Hidden targets do not become visible when you expand the node of a specific build file or click Expand All button . To remove the hidden status of a target:

1. Select the build file in which it is defined and click the Settings Preferences button on the toolbar.

2. In the Phing Settings dialog that opens, switch to the Hiding targets tab where the Hide checkboxes next to the names of the hidden targets are selected. Clear the Hide checkboxes next to the targets for which you want the status hidden removed.
