No. It doesn't have to create a script - I already have one.
make it easy for someone who doesn't know ant to deploy to many systems?
Yes. The Ant script does all of the real work, but it's exposure to the user
should be minimal.
Our applications have many properties and xml files within the ear file and
elsewhere that need to be configured for the particular environment being
used. I already have an Ant script that will configure these files and
deploy the application to any of several application servers, but I want a
GUI front-end to collect all of the settings from the user before running
the script.

What is it you are trying to do?

I don't know of anything you ask for you will probably have to write
your own. Have you looked at writing an Eclipse RCP application to
handle your front end? Eclipse works very well with Ant and can run on
many different OS's
