Thanks for all the replies. I'm tempted to use Maven just because I
think it's the more valuable tool to learn, but I'll probably go with
Ant for the first iteration. There have been a lot of other tools
suggested as well. I'll do more research on those and will hopefully
decide next week.
I'm looking for a tool that will help me:
Build Java Code
Move Php code to a different location on my computer
Create New Directories on the server and upload content to them (via
FTP over SSL or maybe SSH)
Download whole directories and then zip of the contents
I know I could do this in a shell
