We use Ant to do two types of builds (daily and production). For daily
builds I only need the special tasks which start a view, mount a vob, and
set the config-spec. For production builds, I start with the above, then
label our source files at the beginning of the build, then after I have
compiled and jar'd the project, I either checkin a new version of the lib
produced or create a new element if this was the first production build;
lastly I label the lib's produced by the build.
I'm sure that everyone doesn't need all this functionality, but I am working
toward automated daily builds, and since this won't run on the developers
machine, I can't be sure that vobs are mounted, views are started and the
config-spec is set as needed.

Umm, I'm familiar with Clearcase, and builds. But I can't recall one single
instance where I need to use Clearcase during a build. May be after, to
checkin important derived objects.
Would this forum "show me the light" please! Tia
