This, especially the "keep ant running" part, sounds quite a lot like the CruiseControl project, and there's discussion happening on that mailing list about the status and extensions to the mbean stuff. Peter Mei just posted a good-sized patch with 2 new MBeans. Nice stuff, and I see this discussion and that project converging. Nothing about it on the project web site yet, but lots of recent messages on the dev mailing list. http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ Regarding using ant to control MBeans (as an MBean management tool via an appropriate Protocol Adaptor), that's a different but also useful and interesting direction to go, especially as app servers move towards being managed via JMX. s ---- - Steven E.
