Building J2EE apps more effectively using ANT

Hi there,

Since it seems to be a frequent topic at this userlist, I wrote a 
guideline how to use ant to build J2EE apps (WAR files) more effectively. 
The guideline is extending the Application Developer Guide (written for 
Tomcat 4.x) by Craig regarding build topics.

I've included the following topics, which have been of essential 
importance to me:
*) using a central JAR library to copy from within your individual 
projects
*) deploying to different locations (development, test environment, 
production) or to different J2EE-container versions (e.g. TC 4.1.24, TC 
5.0.1, Resin, ...) or both of them easily.

I hope this helps everybody involved with build management issues. Further 
suggestions are welcome!
Johannes
