Personally I use an Ant build task (through Eclipse) to deploy my applications to dev, test, and production. It keeps the deployment specific info out of the code and all in one place. It also means that I can easily add a new target or change a target with little effort.
Ant is pretty powerful and I only need a fraction of what it is capable of for deployment of my Cake applications. The integration with Eclipse is also very handy as it is trivial to trigger specific builds. Regards, Langdon rtconner wrote: > Yeah if anyone find's a great way to do this .. lemme know.
