Building for Deployment under Eclipse and WOLips

Newbie question:

I've designed and implemented version .5 of my new WO application.  I'm 
running Eclipse and WOLips, due to extreme bugginess that I found in 
Apple's XCode tool.  However, all the documentation I've found for how 
to build my application for deployment says I use xcodebuild (actually 
pbxbuild, but I figured that one out) to create separate web server 
resources and application builds.  Of course, since I created my 
project in eclipse, xcode cant make heads or tails of it.  The WOLips 
docs say that I should use the ant "woapplication" task to do the 
appropriate things, although in the "getting started" section, it says 
that my app should be ready to deploy when I build it locally.  Is that 
true?  How do I use ant to build for deployment?

My app is running fine on my workstation (G4), but I want to move it to 
our staging server (xserve G4 running panther).  I'm pretty sure that I 
have wotaskd and monitor running and configured properly.  However, 
when I copy my app (I3PKB.woa) to "/Library/WebServer/Documents/" 
directory and point monitor at it, it cant start properly.  The 
webserverresources directory is empty inside my .woa, so I'm getting 
the idea that it isnt in fact built ready for deployment.  Can anyone 
shed some light on this issue?  What I'd really love is a pedantic, 
step-by-step set of instructions to install WO deployment, build under 
eclipse and WOLips, and copy and start my application, but any subset 
of that would be wonderful.

Thanks a bunch,
