There is a GUI in *early* Development which should do something like this
someday. (It's called antidode and available thru ant CVS).
Regarding dependencied: Ant does not use dependencies by default (there is
an optional task which could do this, but I have never used it).
To get started you could use a simple build.xml and modifiy it to meet your
needs. As an example I have attached the build.xml from IBM's BSF which is a
simple one and does just compile there source-tree and creates a jar-file.
If you have more questions or suggestions what should be included in the ant
distribution to get new users started feel free to post them to the list
again.
Hope this helps.
