Well it's got to the point where I need to automate the creation of JRUN Services and our new applications on my newly installed Staging/UAT Environments as well as the current development environments.

So over the next few days I hope to be blogging about my experience of getting up and running with ANT.

It seems to be the de-facto for deployments and running automated tasks.

What I hope to do is:

1. Create JRun Server
2. Install CF MX
3. Create a Dedicated JVM.config File with settings
4. Create Windows Service
5. Change User for Service and set to Manual Start up (For MSCS)
6. Get the latest label from VSS (Hope to change this soon to Subversion)
7. Add the Service to MS Cluster Services

I have a good Idea on how I will be doing this, but let's see a.

Will keep you all informed :-)
