It's worth restating that because Ant is a general purpose tool, and not a dedicated XML pipeline tool, it can do various housekeeping tasks (e.g. moving or deleting files) which are related to your XML pipeline, but unlikely to be implemenented in a dedicated pipeline tool. It makes Ant a real time-saver for me in practice. That said, it would be interesting to see XPipe or similar implemented as an Ant task, so that you could have the best of both worlds. Cheers, Tony.
