Hiya all,  
I’m working as a Java developer, but trying out ruby in my spare time.  
I really like the db:migrate functionality in rake. I was wondering if  
anyone knows of a java/ant equivalent for a java setup.

Regards,  
Ben Warner

Checkout autopatch at [http://autopatch.sourceforge.net/](http://autopatch.sourceforge.net/). I used to  
work with the guys at tacitknowledge who wrote and now support it and  
we used it on some very large projects and it worked well.

Well, I believe you could use jruby and ActiveJDBC. I haven’t tried it  
myself, but it may be possible.

Autopatch looks to be the exact thing I’m after. Cheers!
