Automatically build and deploy a Java Web Application

Question

I am looking for a tool to build and deploy java web applications. Currently I am using JBOSS 4.x. The tool should be able to get the latest version from Visual Source Safe and make a build with latest code and deploy it to JBOSS application server.

Ant has WAR Task to build WAR.

And to deploy,

you should be invoking the JBoss Deploy MBean to deploy the built WAR Application.
Or, copy the war to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy directory which will automatically deploy the application.
Look here for different ways to deploy application in JBoss remotely

Maven is also a very widely used solution: http://maven.apache.org/

EDIT (Mulmoth): To make the answer complete: With its plugin architecture, it has appropriate support for Visual Source Safe and JBoss.

Besides that, it has a lot of other blessings, like dependency management.
