Copying this to the eclipse.webtools newsgroup where it might get more

You might be interested in Ant 4 Eclipse:
http://ant4eclipse.sourceforge.net/ant-for-eclipse-home.html
It'll allow you to write Ant scripts that leverage your existing eclipse
configuration files.

David, thank you for the link. Unfortunately, despite a recent series of
commits, the project does not appear to be maintained (last release was in
January, 2007). I understand the idea behind it, though, and it does seem
to be the best way to fulfill my requirements, so I spent some time testing
it today to see if it would be able to build any of my projects.
Unfortunately, it did not succeed. I was wondering if anyone might be able
to point me to a similar project that might allow easy integration of
Eclipse building with Ant?
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing what you think,
Jacob

Also, I was wondering if the WAR exporter was fairly well exposed to other
Eclipse plugins. Any information on the exporter class (for instance, where
in webtools it lives; a link to the javadoc would be fantastic) would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Jacob
