defaultTarget should not be restricted to "source" or "build"

[cboulanger]

Currently, the defaultTarget key of compile.json can only be "source" or "build".

I propose to remove that restriction, any target should be be able to be set as default.

that won't work - defaultTarget would be better named defaultTargetType (and so would --target argument), so the target types can only be "source" or "build" because that is the only two that there is code for.

EG if you have one "source" target which has "application-types": ["browser"], "outputPath": "compiled/source" and a second "source" which has "application-types": ["node"], "outputPath": "compiled/source-node"

They are both "source" targets and both compiled.

If you want to only compile one target, then you need to only compile the applications that use that target. EG if you have an application which has "name": "myApp", "application-type": "browser", you can do qx compile --app-name=myApp - this will only compile into compiled/source.

Ok, thanks, I did not know. I'll leave the issue open for the time being, in case others stumble upon the same question or we revisit the issue, but postpone the issue until later.
