This sounds more like an issue for your build system rather than the software. I think what you're looking for is a "Continuous Integration" server such as Hudson, CruiseControl, or Bamboo. There are loads of others, but those are the 3 I hear about most frequently.
These typically monitor your SCM for changes and then invoke a build mechanism (Ant files, Maven, custom schell scripts, etc.), and then publish the resulting artifacts somewhere (upload to FTP, publish in Ivy, etc). Hudson: http://hudson-ci.org/ CruiseControl: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/ Bamboo: http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/ Is that what you meant?
