Steve, I have been looking at using Ant for application deployment to multiple servers. I see there is a known problem with ant 1.6.5 where a sshexec request will close stdout. This can be patched, but this problem is pretty serious since multiple sshexec requests would be needed. I have been looking at the documentation for SmartFrog. Can you point out a doc that describes the issues of deployment? This would include distribution of build files, execution of deployment scripts, configuration, and logging/notification?
