Anthill rocks. Its far far easier to configure than CruiseControl and runs entirely as web application within a lightweight container like Tomcat.tools out there like Flux. Would that appropriate for scheduling builds either from Ant or around Ant? How do others automate Ant builds in cross-platform environments? Cron on UNIX/AT on WIndows?anthill, cruisecontrol. AT sucks.I haven't tried AntHill, but a colleague of mine tried CruiseControl recently. Unfortunately, he already had automated the StarTeam checking out, diffing, emailing, etc. via Ant, so the overhead of configuring and running CruiseControl just to use it as a dumb scheduler to run a self-sufficient build file seemed ridiculous. However, it may be worth revisiting to see if CruiseControl provides some other benefits he's overlooking.
Have your colleague give Anthill a try and compare to your own hand-rolled automation and the effort to get CruiseControl working.
