I am using clearmake and ant in building and configuring (our process for
capturing a frozen version of our software) a client-server application
written using Java.

To accomplish this, I have a small makefile which simply runs ant to build
our jar files, for example:

# Target Rules:

all: ${main_app} ${sub_app1} ${sub_app2}

${main_app}:
ant -file ${main_app}.xml jar_all

${sub_app1}:
ant -file ${sub_app1}.xml

${sub_app2}:
ant -file ${sub_app2}.xml

The main advantage for doing so is that I can use the configuration record
from jar files (built using ant through clearmake) to identify and label
source files which were used in the build. This is part of the mechanism we
use for configuring our software.

Right now, our product is fairly small - we rebuild all every time and
aren't concerned with minimal rebuilds. We haven't noticed any disadvantages
- maybe since it's the first Java product we've developed.

Hope this helps.
