This is how EDE (a part of CEDET) is setup and works. There
are "projects", and in projects there are "targets". There are
project build commands, and target build commands. Each
project or target can have language specific features for
setting up CEDET's parsers.
Is there a particular reason to have the notion of "target" in
the project API?
i've been wondering this too; in a post to this list in August:

I'm also interested in how to resolve some of the
misconceptions about EDE. Perhaps looking at what prevents it
from being 'on by default', which I'm sure is a long list, is a
good way to move it in the right direction, even if it never is
on by default.
Well, say i'm developing a small Perl5 project - one main
module, supported by two helper modules, all of which are pure
Perl. When i look at the overview of EDE in the Emacs manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/EDE.html
and read:
A project may contain one or more targets. A target can be an
object file, executable program, or some other type of file,
which is “built” from one or more of the files in the
project.
i think to myself: "Okay, so EDE might be able to help me build
(say) a .tar.gz when i feel the project is ready for release and
distribution, but it's not relevant prior to that stage, since
the source .pm files /are/ the executable files. There's nothing
to 'build' during development and testing, so it seems i have no
use for EDE during those phases."
i would also guess that, similarly, EDE might not be that useful
when developing in languages such as ELisp, Python or Ruby.
Am i wrong? What would using EDE get me in such contexts?
