------------------------------------
Hi Adrian
Maybe I should expand a little bit more on this. A point to emphazise
perhaps is that this functionality is located within the webtools app -
which requires WEBTOOLS permissions. I'm therefore not talking about any
user - but specifically users with WEBTOOLS permissions.

> Some of the ant tasks in build.xml can be encapsulated in a groovy script using Groovy AntBuilder. This provides the ability to use form widgets to pass parameters to ant. For less technical users this can be a major help as they do not have to go through a console but can instead launch ant tasks through a user-friendly webinterface. To start with I have enscapsulated the "create-component" task in a groovy script - CreateComponent.groovy. The best place for this enhancement seems to be the Webtools app. To this end I have created a new menu item from the webtools app and named it Component Management. I also added "ComponentScreens.xml and ComponentForms.xml".
