Java Development with Ant

[Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

All -

I'm proud (and worried about the support e-mails! :) to announce the 
near-final release of a project demonstrating Ant, XDoclet, Struts, 
JUnit, Cactus, and Lucene.  Its called JavaDevWithAnt as it was written 
for the book Steve and I co-authored and has been refined during 
several presentations I've been giving on Ant, XDoclet and Struts.

The documentation is in draft stage, and my primary goal is to collect 
feedback on polishing the documentation (and the application if there 
are any bugs that surface).  The site where I'm hosting the 
distribution and documentation is:

	http://www.ehatchersolutions.com/JavaDevWithAnt/

Please let me know if you try it out and have suggestions for 
improvement, or just to let me know you tried it and hate it or love 
it, etc.  Feedback more than welcome!  Direct feedback to me at 
JavaDevWithAnt@ehatchersolutions.com

	Erik

p.s. Since this is directed to the ant-user list, here are some 
hilights:

- XDoclet everywhere (including using Ant properties in various ways)
- Slick library dependency handling
- Filterset example
- Dynamically turn EJB on/off (since the app can work either way)
- Reusable compilation and testing targets
- Builds out of the box (with J2EE SDK installed, or j2ee.jar supplied 
- read installation instruction for details).
