no, just fix it. :)

the task isnt complex. It is making an HTTP get against the manager, then
looking for OK at the start of the response. Here is the removal code
without a test for it passing, or the tomcat tasks
<!-- remove code on a remote catalina instance -->
<target name="remove-remote-app"
depends="build-remote-urls">
<property name="status.file"
location="deploy-${target.server}.txt" />
<get
src="${target.manager.url}/remove?path=/${target.appname}"
dest="${status.file}"
username="${target.username}"
password="${target.password}" />
<loadfile property="remove.result"
srcFile="${status.file}"/>
<echo>${remove.result}</echo>
</target>
Were I ever to sit down and sort out tomcat's deployment, I'd go for an XML
response so it'd be easier to parse.
