I've been learning a bit of java lately, and in that world, the typical tool
for this I think would be Ant, which is pretty slick.

XML config files define task specifics, including dependencies (don't deploy
until unit tests have run, for example), then you just tell it a task to
run, either from the cmd line or a .bat file. There are a ton of task types
predefined, including file and ftp operations.

Is anyone using Ant for deployment in a cf environment?
