My bad, didn't see your reference to Rant on first read!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 2:33 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: RE: Any interest in a remote Ant server?
Did you follow and read the "Related Projects" link from the Ant home page? Because such a beast already exits: Rant: Rant stands for Remote Ant. It is a distributed build system that allows an Ant build file to launch builds on other systems and receive exceptions should they occur.

Hi all, I've written an add-on for Ant that allows for remote builds. It consists of an RMI based server application and a handful of custom Ant tasks on the client side. My motivation for this was to allow C/C++ code to be built on remote machines for multiple architectures from the comfort of the developer's Eclipse IDE on Windows. I tried Rant, but found it too limiting, so I've done my own version, complete with file transfers and synchronous logging (which took some work to make it all serialize/deserialize properly across RMI!) Now that I've got it working, the question is, what do I do with it? Is there even any interest out there for such a thing? Who should I talk to at apache? Should I just throw it up on my own web page? Here's how it works from the user's perspective. Please let me know how to proceed. By the way, I have a new set of Ant tasks for Eclipse that allow you to use the .classpath file from inside *or* outside the IDE. I needed this to allow our continuous integration server to use the same build process as the developer's IDE. Any interest there?
