Orion Newbie Question: Deploytool like UI and such

[Richard Landon]

We have been doing some J2EE development using the J2EE RI.
Is there an equivalent to deploytool for Orion.
How do I programmatically deploy an application.
Currently we use an ant task to execute deploytool appropriately for the
J2EE RI.

Any guidance is appreciated in advance.
