Hi, i your script is ready to use and all you want to achieve is to collect the properties via gui have a look @ AntForms.
give it a shot = http://antforms.sourceforge.net/ Gilbert -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Goktepe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 2:03 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Ant-based installers >have a gui for end users that creates a script for deploying to the local box? 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. -Andrew On 2/2/06, Steve Loughran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Andrew Goktepe wrote: > > I am looking for an ant-based GUI installer to configure and deploy our > J2EE > > applications.
