My firm been looking at JBoss on for building java web systems and pushing them out to servers. but I was just thinking can it all be done with ANT?? I think so but I am looking for some 3rd parties to tell me then I am not going crazy and ANT can save my day.
We need the following:
- Something that can build a java program (web/non-web) into classes, JARS and WARS
- Push the JARS and WAR onto a server (FTP,SFTP)
I use ant to perfrom a sourcecode checkout. Build compile and precompile java and jasper jsp files. Run the unittests and package the app as a war file and upload it to a server. So yes this is possible.
