My project is compatible only with Internet Explorer. I want the test scripts to get generated automatically as it is done in Selenium IDE.

Can i use Selenium RC to test my application? I could not use Selenium IDE as it can be used only with Mozilla Firefox.

seleniumrc works with IE. You can specify the browser and the path to it within the config file.

It can be easily integrated into night builds via ant.

stick to writing the testcase in java.

I know Watin is compatible with IE and Firefox. If you want to generate the test code you can use the Watin Test Recorder

This of course is implying that you are using .Net

Selenium RC and Selenium Grid are both really good at running tests against IE. You can see all the browsers that are supported by Selenium here and Selenium is Designed to write for one browser and work in the rest. THere are a few little quirks that wont work in every browser but 99% of the time it will.

... Or you could just use the .net bindings that comes along with the latest couple of versions, then you can just run 'em through nUnit.

Selenium RC works with IE, but is very buggy with IE 6 (to the point of being unusable). Generating the scripts is not trivial and there are many methods of doing it. We have created a Firefox extension that examines objects via introspection to make click recording easy. There are many options out there but your best bet is to write your tests with Firefox/Firebug (or Chrome). They will make object location much simpler and if you are careful the locator strings should still work in IE.
