LifeCycle - Build Phase

Pre-defined Build Script Tasks

So that you can see what kinds of available Tasks come already made with LifeCycle - Build Phase utility, I am listing all 120+ of them here. Of course, you are free to develop new Tasks, or enhance any of these, to make the utility more flexable. All I ask is to make the new or changed Task available to other who use the tool.
