[Anthill-pro] Codestation Publish Task

That sounds fantastic. I was actually hoping it was implemented that way, 
but the properties on the task had me thinking otherwise. 

It seems I was getting "connection refused" errors because I didn't 
understand that the server property is actually still intended to mean the 
Anthill server, even though I'm publishing to a local repository. I now 
appear to have that issue resolved, and managed to decipher the next error 
message enough to learn that there is a "publishall" property. So I'm up 
and running, and I'm really liking the dependency management features. But 
I see there is also a "config" property that is supposed to let me publish 
only certain artifacts, as well as other properties I don't yet know.
 
Is there any regular documentation available on the ant tasks? It would be 
easier to read just a small amount of docco than to keep using the shotgun 
approach and decipher error messages. On a related note, a bit more time 
spent on docco in general would be really appreciated. The existing docs 
aren't poorly written...they're just incomplete. The features seem great 
once I figure them out, but on several occasions now I've needed to take a 
trial-and-error or read-between-the-lines approach to learning Anthill 
with the existing docs and tutorials.

The "local repository" for developer machines is accessed via direct file 
system access to a special directory located in "~/.codestation/repo/". 
Developers do not need to run any special service or process in order to 
use the ant tasks.
