Brian,

Here is how I'm proceeding.

I have a "Compile and kit" originating workflow which does:

1) Update from cvs
2) Compile (via ant)
3) Run unit tests (via ant)
4) Run a "dev" stamper to stamp the build life with a ver #
5) Create a "kit" consisting of all JAR files etc. This is
   placed in a directory named after the stamp applied in step 4,
   which I resolve as follows:
      ${bsh:PathHelper.makeSafe(StampLookup.getLatestStampValue())}
6) Run the artifact publisher to create a kit artifact from this dir

Eric, does this sound like a valid approach?

Thanks,
	c
