Using Ant to Configure JBoss from SCM

[garbett]

I have the original JBoss 4.0.2 source and the EJB3.0 source in CVS (any Software Configuration Management tool will work), along with the configuration files. I also have some other pieces and bits that need installation. To put it all together I use an Ant build file that assembles the works. All developers on our team have the same configuration. If you need a change in the configuration, all developers can pull and work from the updated configuration with a simple pull and build command. Automated testing also works from the same setup. No more configuration guesswork between boxes.

Here's what I have, enjoy:

 It is commented out because this is unsupported by struts.
 I.E. Never do this. See the following (Section 5.5)
