Apache Buildr <http://buildr.apache.org/index.html> is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools. Buildr is a domain-specific language and set of extensions to Rake <http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html>(the Ruby make tool) combining concepts from Maven2 (such as projects, artifacts, repositories and default layout), existing Ant tasks and the native scripting abilities of Ruby.
What's New in Buildr 1.3.4? - We graduated from the Apache Incubator! This is our first release as a top-level Apache project: http://buildr.apache.org. New site, new mailing lists, SVN, Git, etc. - Support for Git version control system - Improved all-around Scala support, including joint Java-Scala compilation and upgraded to Scala 2.7.3 dependencies: ScalaSpecs 1.4.3, ScalaCheck 1.5 and ScalaTest 0.9.5 - New ‘artifacts:sources’ task to download source code for artifact jars - Source code attachments for external dependencies in Eclipse and IDEAprojects - Dependency upgrades such as Rake 0.8.4, Net-SSH 2.0.11, RSpec 1.2.2, JRuby 1.1.6. - Documentation now uses Jekyll <http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/> to generate web site and PDF document. This replaces Docter so less code to maintain and the same Textile/Liquid mechanism as when using Github pages. - And 20 or so bug fixes. See the CHANGELOG <http://buildr.apache.org/CHANGELOG> for full details.
