I just got done using Ant to create the coolest thing I have ever seen. It is
going to allow developers (who don't know that much about Java), who are using
tools to autogenerate Java code to compile the code and add it to a common jar,
ftp the jar (including backing up), set the file permissions, and notifying all
of the developer group via email all with one command. Too cool!
