To be honest, I have never tried invoking ant from the build step in jenkins..I just took a look at it, but I don't see how this would be more beneficial (or easier) for me, since I have everything already set up on the slave machine...all I should be doing is executing an ant command to run the script.
Is there some benefit to invoking ant in jenkins vs executing it from the slave? Thanks for your response. -John P.
