Thanks for your answers.... they really do help :-)
I know of ant4eclipse and we currently using it... but actually I do want to
be free of that.
The conversion I would need is:
- find out the project dependencies via .classpath file
- resolve them to the local repository
ant4eclipse cant do that - but if its that easy as Hans wrote... that would
be great
Cheers
