Oh the irony
So I’m working on a PHP app for building eBay affiliate stores. Been a pretty good experience really as this is my first full PHP app and not just messing with a wordpress plugin or other such trivial thing.
Anyway, I go to package it up for download for beta testing and found myself copying over the file into a temp directory so I can then remove the directories that weren’t mean for distribution. It dawned on me that a perfect solution for this was Ant. So I whipped up an ant build file with a couple lines in it that just zips up the required directories and presto, I’m done.
Who would have thought I would use a Java app to package up a PHP app?

Excellent!
Maybe we can all do stuff like this. I’m going to package my next Perl app using Ruby! Interoperability all around.
