Good Ant Tip Nick has an Ant tip that I can put to good use.
This A little-known Ant feature is the hyphenated target name. If you have a target name that starts with a "-", such as "-test-setup", you will not be able to call that target from the command line. Developers creating utility targets in their build.xml files can use this to avoid confusing other developers with irrelevant support targets.
There are a fair amount of internal targets in AppFuse that don't need to be visible and can't be really be called from the command line. Last time I checked, IDEA and Eclipse both allowed hiding of internal targets - so I rarely see these, but it might be a good idea to make them more explicit. I'll put it on my what-I-can-do-when-I-get-bored list.
