Reckon I just might've spoke too soon when I posted last night. Maybe. I thought I'd solved all of my issues with MAMP and had successfully bent it to my will when I got pear running. Alas, 'twould appear not. Today I tried to execute an Ant script and one of my Subversion tasks was failing.
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.
