We deployed a site on Tomcat that gets about 60,000 hits a day which I would say is a considerable amount. The thing is we put squid in front of Tomcat so it doesn't have to do very much. I've done tests between Tomcat and Resin (http://www.caucho.com $500) and Resin turns out to be consistently 5-10X faster. We'll be pushing clients to use Resin from now on.
I've developed with Ant for almost the last year now and it's really sweet. We're using it to dynamically build required modules and dynamically create config files etc.
Extending Ant is simple too.
Careful though, Ant 2.x buildfiles will be incompatible with Ant 1.x buildfiles.
Those guys on theforce.net are a bunch of nuts. I liked the Star Wars movies (I even enjoyed Episode I despite its many pitfalls), but if there's one thing I hate about Star Wars it's those nuts whose lives revolve around it.
Get a f*cking life!
