First post is here Third post is here I found out that the provided IBM ant tasks are designed to run from within eclipse (apparently as plugins, through a set of clicks).In order to run them as _Headless Tasks_ (IBM: “Headless” means running builds from the command line without using the WebSphere Studio or Rational Application Developer GUI) they...
Second Post is here Third post is here In an effort to ease our deployment cycle, I’ve been trying to develop simple ANT scripts to deploy to a remote server running Websphere 6.0. To my joy, I found that IBM was kind enough to provide ANT tasks that take care of the deployment (wsInstall, wsadmin) [Poor me: I thought...

I’ve been looking for a decent tool for HTML Data Mining, (aka web-based data mining, aka screen scraping) with no real success.I wanted to extract data from some 350+ HTML files and upload them into a DB.
