Using Ant instead for this would be great.

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. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C377C3.08405DF0--
