There is an sshexec and scp task in the 1.6beta version that have proven to be very useful for deployments at the company I work. I have also used the sql task to update and load database packages, functions, triggers, views, etc. In fact, the group I work in uses ant quite extensively and we don't compile a single java class. Ant is not just a build tool, but a great automation tool for almost anything you can think of. -Rob Anderson -----Original Message----- From: D Bamud [mailto:nougain@cad.delhi.nic.in] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 6:39 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: ANT - Deployment Tool? If you go to http://ant.apache.org you will see a "Ant wins Java Pro award" section on top which says ANT as "Most Valuable Java Deployment Technology". But I cann't see much of *deployment* features in it. I found it primarily *build* tool. Having said that I want to use ANT as *deployment* tool -as well-. Could someone give some pointers on that. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-help@ant.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-help@ant.apache.org
