Subject: winning the case for ANT


Hi all,

=20

I am working in a team of developers, where one developer is completely =
against the use of ANT as a build script as he feels that xml should not =
be used as a scripting tool.  I would like to create an environment =
which does automated nightly builds, deployments and execution of tests =
with reports.  This team members negativity is hampering commitment =
towards this goal.

=20

I was hoping there would be somebody who could direct me to a =
resource(s) that will strengthen my case for the use of ANT, as I see it =
as the perfect tool to achieve this goal and am under the impression =
that it is the industry standard for non-proprietary java build tools.

Regards,

Andreas
