Create a project Skeleton with Megg

Create a visual dependency map of your Ant File with Grand
- you'll need Graphviz to use Grand with Command Line

Now automate the Build Process with CruiseControl

Say Hello To Java 5 On OpenBSD/amd64
http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20060518065549

Thank you Kurt and others who helped this come true.

I have just now today succeeded in building a JDK 1.5 on
a OpenBSD 3.9-current snapshot!

I installed a snapshot with kernel on a "clean machine":
OpenBSD 3-9-current (GENERIC) Sun May 28
- installed all base packages including X

I then fetched ports sources and went into /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.5
and typed make install

It took some hours compiling dependencies yesterday and
took about two hours building the JDK package today.

Timing on a Athlon64 2GHz with slow IDE disk:
JDK compile today from 09:15 until 11:21, with a short break
needing "ulimit -d 1000000" and restart

Remove everything from classpath in windows to get ant, tomcat, and jboss behaving properly.

Add Environment Variables
Add ant to path
add ANT_HOME =c:\ant
