Local development against a local CF and local resources. Full working 
copy of a SVN repository. Code gets tagged in the repo and then a build 
server will use an Ant script to pull in drivers, externals and 
configuration files and generate several EAR files, both a compiled and 
a source version for each CF version supported. Source versions go to 
the test environment and when approved the compiled version goes to the 
staging environment where the customer will approve it for final deployment.


I second the recommendation for SVN as a centralized versioning system 
but you shouldn't pay too much attention to all the people claiming it 
is hard to set up. It may be tedious when you do it for the first time, 
but not hard, you just have to follow the manual. And be warned about 
all the blogs and wiki's too: I'm sure their authors write them with the 
best intentions, but few of them add something that is not in the 
manual, most of them are outdated and none of them cover important 
issues such as the proper way to secure and backup your repository. And 
don't even think about using that one-click installer, version 1.2.3 is 
ancient and binary incompatible with the current versions.
