That's correct. I never run my apps with any IDE's "plugged-in" container.

Agreed. You have many options available with a good Ant build script. Anything you have to do 'by hand' can be (and usually already is) provided with ant tasks. In recent projects, I've used Ant to do tasks (ftp, database calls, etc) that are totally unrelated to software development.
