I need to execute ant builds on a remote machine and I'm trying to decide on the best method.
I've written off Rant because it looks like a dead project. I tried the antserver from ant-contrib and found it was a piece of cake to get working, but seems to suffer from a huge problem in that no information gets returned to the client making the remote request. It would be a lot more useful if the server would send its output to the client. Is there some option that I've missed? I also got sshexec working and can call Ant that way, which seems to work fine, but that means passing any properties, etc over through the commandline, which is awkward. Is anyone using any of these tools for remote builds? Any suggestions as to the best techniques for remote builds? Thanks, --Alex Buccino
