Is it possible to run an ant script first when the deploy (of an Enterprise Application) is triggered?

My ant script creates jars for a web project (more exact: Java Web Start). I would like fresh jars to be created first, when I deploy.

Can this be done somehow?

Adding the build.xml as a builder to that Enterprise Application Project didn’t have much effect …

thanx!

We have an open enhancement request for a deployment extension point that could be used to introduce custom pre/post deployment hooks. But its priority relative to everything else we must do is low. Can you get by with manually execution of Ant task before selecting the deploy action?

Ah, where is it? I would like to vote on that.

Yes, not a big problem—a combined build+deployment is just nice to have 😉
