Project Build Strategy Question:

I have about 9-10 different projects automated under Anthill OS nightly.  I 
set up a property sheet for each project where I call speicific targets out 
their respective build.xml to generate war files, etc.  I have not declared 
any project dependencies as they're not needed at this point -- only two 
projects depend on each other and I fake it by building them in time order.  
Then a master build.xml file kicks in as the last build of the night, 
packages the war and necessary jar files, checks in the files which have 
been modified, and tags all the projects in the repository by committing the 
local working folders under Anthill into Subversion and finally it deploys 
the war files to the servers for QA testing, etc.

Is this a good strategy?  Any suggestions or feeback? Thanks.
