Create a Target Aggregate

Problem

You want to create a common target that when run in turn run several other targets.

Solution

Use a literal target definition in your BUILD file to specify an aggregate target that depends on all the targets you wish to run.

Here's an example target definition that creates a target names agg dependent on two targets with different types:

:: python
target(
  name='agg',
  dependencies=[
    'src/python/myproject/dep:lib',
    'src/java/com/myorg/myproject/dep:lib',
  ],
)

Triggering any goal for agg will trigger said goal for both the Python and Java targets.
