Hi James, Thank you very much for the pointer to Ant. I am evaluating it as we speak. However, I find ant less powerful than make, because with the Makefile I am building I just have to change the name of the application and the names of the beans in order to get a new makefile for a different EJB application. Although ant seems very nice at first glance, I don't think it is powerful enough. What I am missing is `patsubst' functionality. It may be in there, but I haven't found it yet. /:) Ernst [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Take a look at Jakarta Ant > > http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html > > Written in Java, uses an XML makefile format... very nice!
