Variable Replacement with Ant posted on: 1/14/08
Description: In the years I've been using Ant, there aren't many things I haven't been able to make it do for me to automate the end-to-end build and/or deployment process. There is at least one thing that's eluded me, though. Automated changes to a config file.
Ant for Web Applications posted on: 1/20/08
Description:
On the whole, I suppose, Ant is probably best known as a build automation tool for "traditional" software projects (particularly Java), but its usefulness for building and deploying web applications should not be dismissed. I've been using Ant since maybe 2003 or 2004 to do just that.
This entry offers a high-level view of how I use Ant to meet my own build and deployment needs. Subsequent posts will look at specific elements that are non-standard or that relate to how I integrate Ant into my end-to-end deployment process.
