I am not sure if there's an answer for this already -- couldn't find one for this (hopefully common) setup:

I recently converted one of my ColdFusion projects to deploy via ANT.

I have a local ant script that instructs a remote server to check out the code, and run the application's specific build file, remotely on the server.

I have a few endpoints:

Live - production (on the production server) Staging - on the production server, different datasource, etc. dev - on the local box.

What I have run into it seems is a simple and common problem. I now need ANT to create any build, even locally. Fine, created a local endpoint and it configures for my box.

Issue? How do I get it to show up as a project (automatically if possible) in Eclipse/ColdFusion builder. What I envision is instead of checking out a branch via the subversion plugin in CFBuilder/Eclipse, I now use ANT to do that for me.

Since I use ColdFusion Builder (Eclipse + Adobe's plugin), I have all of eclipse's tools and plugins available to solve the problem of : how can I best call ANT from within Eclipse/ColdFusion Builder, to setup the local build as a project that I can develop and work on?

I think when I check the code back in from the local box, I'd have to be sure not to check in any files with local config paths, etc.

I hope this is a detailed and clear enough explanation, if not, please ask.

Thanks in advance!
