Actually, mine runs as part of the normal build process too. Using ant builder instead of a program builder gives you full cross-platform compatibility. We're both adding builders, just different types.
Either one will work fine. But I recommend an ant builder over a program builder, because there are always other reasons that come along to have an ant script -- for example, production builds with tagging, etc. You can also set up other tasks to perform besides builds. But that's a relatively mild recommendation, especially if you only develop or need to develop on one platform. i suspect that by leaving off a .cmd extension, and putting a bit of script in the.'toollcmd' file to run the main script in a 'tool' file, you could set up program builders to work on both Unixoid and non- unixoid platforms, but I've not tried it. Another nice little advantage of an ant script is you don't need to fuss with your revision control system or scripts getting execute permission set on Unixoid systems.
