Does anyone know of a good library that provides Ant with tasks for performing operations with Amazon EC2 / S3? I would like to use S3 to deploy new WAR files for my applications, and Ant figure would be a good way to simplify the process and maintain all consistency. Any recommendations?
Try CSS Labs Ant extensions .
aws-ant-task is stable and actively supported as of October 2012. And it works super!
You can try Ant tasks to interact with Amazon web services.
You can try dragging some Ruby AWS libraries to Ant using Jruby. In fact, it would be easiest to use Jruby to uncover Ant tasks (which are a good Ant bit, IMHO) for some Ruby deployment scripts. No XML.
