Hi all,
It looks like Craig McClahahan has checked in some recent changes to the
Tomcat tree that provide ANT support for deploying webapps to running
servers. You'll need a nightly build after Feb 12th, and you'll want to
read the documentation included for the Manager App HOWTO. You'll need to
put the catalina-ant.jar in your ${ANT_HOME}/lib folder.
