All-

Im new to Anthill, so forgive me in advance...

I was drawn to Anthill at first because of the build repository it creates.
This is just a good thing to do. I am a client side guy, so I am mainly focused
on Swing clients and their dealings. 

I am also really into Java Web Start. And the build repository is a perfect
example of the usefulness of Java Web Start. Basically, without installing a
particular client build, you could run it directly from the repository. This
would be extreemly useful for, say, a dev mamager who wants to check out the
current state of some bug or something. The result is a build AND execution
repository. An exponentially cooler thing!

So here it is... I want to find out if there would be a simple way to add JWS
launching capability to the build repository. Is it something that others might
be interested in?

I am currently writing a book on Java Client Deployment including things like
JWS, ANT, installation tools and so on. If this gets done, it would be a great
excuse for me to drum up anthill in the book.

Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Give me a shout. I would really to get some
response from the community at large...
