Java Development Tools

I am tasked with developing a best or prefered practice of feploying a large ADF application. Background: we are in the process of redeveloping a UI for a large system. We have broken the system down into susbsytems. Each of these susbsystems UI will be a ADF aaplicaion(?). This is a move from a MS .Net front end. The backend (Batch processes etc) is being dveloped in Java. So my question is if I have several ADF projects for each subsystem and common components that they all will use - what is the best practice to compile package and deploy? The deployment will be to weblogic server or servers(Cluster).

We have a team of at least 40 -50 developers worldwide so we are looking for an automated build and deploy and would like to follow Oracle best practice. So far I have read Deploying ADF Applications (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e15470/deploy.htm#BGBJHGFH) and have followed the links. I have also look at the ADF evangalist blogs - lots of chatter about ojdeploy. My concern about ojdeploy is that dependent files are also being compiled at the same time. I expected that we want shared dependent files compiled only once (Is that a valid concern)?

So then when we build the source out of subversion (ojdeploy ? Ant? ) then what is best practice to deploy to a weblogic server (wslt admin console) - again we want it to be automated.

Thank you in advance for replies.
