I'm an extremely happy FinalBuilder user. Once you have your scripts setup (and it can some fine tuning) it is great.

I haven't upgraded to Version 6 yet, however with the PRO version you get the server version, which I hope to put in place in the near future. cheers, Jeremy On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 11:50 AM, Conor Boyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The team over the wall are using NANT as the build scripting environment > (I think).
