No. It doesn't have to create a script - I already have one.

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.
