These are an interesting set of tasks, even if they could do with a quick
run through jedit's jstyle mode to apply the sun layour rules to them.

It makes me think about how, some point in the foreseeable future, we could
move to having some appserver tasks which are server independent -

<appserver  type="tomcat" port="8086">
 <shutdown />
 <startup>
     <options><option>-security</option><options>
 </startup>
</appserver>

It may be a bit early; we need more support for bluestone, tomcat and
websphere tasks to go with the current set and then we can start teasing out
commonality. Or is there enough duplication with the weblogic and iPlanet to
start looking at a refactored design?

I believe the cactus project in commons has the start of that sort of
functionality (cactus formely j2eeunti) is a unit testing framework for
j2ee stuff ;)

Cheers,
