Running ant on a nightly basis?
How are people who run ant on a nightly (or other timed) basis doing it?
Just as a cron or at (some scheduler-type utility) task? Does anyone use
anything more elaborate? Maybe a litte java daemon that checks for some
significant event(s) and kicks off (forks?) ant? Just looking for
ideas/suggestions...
Thanks,
Diane

Thank you to Craig, Glenn and Will for your suggestions. Will's
BuildListener is an interesting idea, I hadn't thought of that...
I had assumed writing a shell script that runs ant and emails the log file
would work, but being lazy, had hoped I could get Ant to do all the work for
me. ;-) Ah, well, sometimes we actually have to _write_ code...

I run a nightly "cron" job that generates several of the "nightly
distribution" downloads on the Jakarta web site. I dealt with mailing output
even before the new email task was added, by piping Ant's output to a text
file, and then just mailing the content of that file (with the "mail" shell
command).

I look forward to hearing folks answers on this as well. We were also
hoping ot set up a nightly Ant build, but I wanted to be able to email a
'build report' as well. I noticed that an email taskdef was recently
added...can this email task be used to mail Ant's output?
