Trying to build the ultimate build.xml in ANT: debug\/production zip ftp version … etc: will save a lot of keystrokes in FDT4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All the information about the ultimate build.xml can be found on the internet, so I will post the links and you can figure it out for yourself.<\/p>\n

I used the build.xml made by Jankees van Woezik (Base 42<\/a>) as the base of my ultimate ANT build file. You can read about it and download here: My workflow with ANT and FDT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Because we work a little bit different I had to do some modifications (for example: I work with 2 swf: preloader.swf and main.swf and work on PC). I created a list of stuff that I wanted to do with ANT and behind the “wish” you find a link to the site I found the solution for the problem:<\/p>\n

    Something like this needs some time to find its place in my workflow, and will be changed a lot. That is the reason why I’m not posting my ant file… not because it’s ugly or a secret… but because I need to refine it.  <\/p>\n

    Oh… I also have a small todo list (perhaps you could call it a nice-to-have-list)<\/p>\n
