Hmm, that convinced me. 

The fact that you called me man. 

I'll stay on a little longer, until I meat some other man. And the rent is 
paid.

Do you mean that all the components that were customers specific would be in 
that framework? It seems to me you have specific ant files per customer to 
build everything. A standard Eclipse Ant-install would not suffice, I suppose.

I was thinking of a Hudson type of installation, so that an update of a 
framework would lead to (for the moment) 5 different deployed installation. I 
don't know if ant plays nice with ant. I'll have a look at it (Just started to 
have a look at Maven too…).
