For those interested in Amazon Web Services, I started a project a couple of months back that has a goal of providing ant tasks to interface with many of the services that Amazon provides. The initial task is for uploading data to S3. I used this with a client to deploy a war file. That war file is pulled from S3 by instances in EC2 (their compute cloud). If you'd like to check it out, have a look at http://code.google.com/p/awstasks/ I was working on an S3 download task and have other ideas for tasks, but I'd like to get input to see what other people want. I am also the author of an AWS client library (also at google code), so I'm probably going to use that library to implement other tasks. David
