u can add custom config specs to your definition of a view directly in anthill pro...

extract good changes out of the last failed build ? I am unsure...if you mean to take those components that compiled and tested...and perhaps tagged as LAST_GOOD_BUILD then yes.

yes, u can fire off another build or define custom commands based upon the success or failure of a build...I tend to have 1 very smart build or many builds...depends on the project and what state its in...though the general drift goal over time is to have 1 build for each component...

yes, Anthill Pro is an expensive build but in relative project cost terms a trivial expense.

...ok enough...people will start thinking I work for the people who make Anthill Pro ! though I have tried all of them, including building my own with mixtures of Maven, Jelly, jython and Ant....seems to be the best compromise out of of all of em.

gl in your search and definately inform the list if you find a unique approach.
