Hello,

of the suggested system I have only tried ant so far and I instantly  
disliked it: It didn't run out of the box, although it is a Java program,  
it is a rather big package which makes it a heavy dependency and in my  
opinion it is very clumsy to handle, partly because of the xml format of  
the build control files.

Of course that's only my personal opinion -- some Java programmers I know  
do like it. Apparently it integrates very nicely with Eclipse.

cu,
Thomas
