I'm VERY new to SOA/JDeveloper/Ant so please be gentle!
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 and Ant 1.6.5 on WinXP SP2.
I've got a project with 47 BPEL's, and I want to automate their compilation and deployment, but outside the JDEV GUI environment. Ant seems to be a good tool, especially since Ant build files for each BPEL are already sitting there waiting for me to use.
I've started writing an Ant file which will ultimately call the build.xml file for each of the 47 BPEL modules, but I'm not getting very far. I therefore tried opening a command window in the directory which contains one of these build.xml's (which works fine when invoked from within JDEV), and simply typed ANT. The resulting error message starts off "Cannot find ${oracle.home}/integration
It therefore appears to me that JDEV probably sets up all sorts of environment variables, search paths etc., before it invokes Ant. My question therefore is this: how do I determine the precise details of this environment, in order that I can replicate them in in my own ant calling file?

Mark, thanks for the suggestion - I'll look into obant.
Meanwhile, for anybody who is interested, I think I've found an answer to my original question: on the Run Ant dialogue in JDeveloper, I set "Run Ant in a Separate Process" and selected Output Level as Debug. The first line of the Ant log, which starts off "C:\Oracle\Product\JDevelo

Use obant. Its a wrapper around ant and works pretty well.
A good starting article is at:
