ANT generated deployment script

I've looked through the documentation but found nothing.

Does ANT have the ability to write a file?  I'd like ANT to create a new deployment script after packaging and then mail package w/script.  Packaging/mailing are easy, but howto write the deployment script (possibly from a template?)


Thanks,

j.anderson

A fair approximation to that is:

<xmlproperty file="project.xml" collapseattributes="true"/>
<echoproperties prefix="project" destfile="tmp.properties"/>
<filter filtersfile="tmp.properties"/>
<copy file="script.sh" filtering="true" ... />

Use Texen.  See the velocity project.  I would subclass the TexenTask and
override the populateInitialContext method to put the current project into
the context, say with the key "ant".  This will allow you to create a very
simple output file template, then populate with properties from your script.
You'll be able to access any of your ant project's properties from within
the template using "$ant.somePropertyName".
