Brendan You can run just ant (no arguments) as often as you like. It doesnt mess with the data. Further, you can run ant run-install-seed and it only fools with the seed data (resetting it).
In my testing directory, I do this: ant clean-all and run-install The first clears out derby data and dumps all the class files. If you are hooked to postgres instead of derby, clean-all does not clean it out. You have to drop the database and remake it. You can update from svn as often as you like and rebuild with just ant.

None of your built files are downloaded. But, then again, it's real easy to do another ant run-install to recompile everything. Note that if you do not do ant clean-all, your data remains intact.

After this build, can I still do an SVN update through Tortoise SVN?? I'm just scared that some files are over written from what was built with the build.xml Brendan
