Unless this person is the project lead or a manager, their opinion does not matter. If the task has been delegated to you, get the approval of your superiors and press on. This person will either fall in line or they will make a nuissance of themeselves. -Rob Anderson

I would like to create an environment which does automated nightly builds, deployments and execution of tests with reports. This team members negativity is hampering commitment towards this goal. I was hoping there would be somebody who could direct me to a resource(s) that will strengthen my case for the use of ANT, as I see it as the perfect tool to achieve this goal and am under the impression that it is the industry standard for non-proprietary java build tools.
