Sorry for offtopic, but can you speak some words to describe your
'build machine' - I manage number of projects now and manual build and
uploads are very terrible for me. Sorry again.

At the moment, my "build machine" is my desktop PC, running Linux (Red Hat) and Sun's JDK
1.2.2.  I have a "cron" job that pulls all the current sources for a large number of
Jakarta subprojects, creates "distribution" builds of them, and uploads them to
jakarta.apache.org for download by others.

I'm in the process of moving the place this is done onto a large Sun box (an E4500) that
Sun is making available to the Apache project ... but it's not quite done yet.

I will tell you one thing ... without Ant this whole process would be VERY much more
miserable.
