[nant-dev] MSBuild
Does it bug anyone else that MSBuild is almost identical to NAnt with slight
modifications like $( instead of ${ to access properties... I remember the
manager of MSBuild coming in and acting like MS was going to play so nice with
NAnt, when in reality, he was using it as a project to copy because obviously
the community liked it. And he's done his best job at locking NAnt out of
being a useful tool with VS2005... In fact, once completely converted to 2005,
I don't see much use for NAnt except for legacy stuff. Am I way off base?

Re: [nant-dev] MSBuild
What about builds targeted towards multiple frameworks? I don't that
MSBuild (aka MS-NAnt in my office) handles that, nor was expected to for
some time.

Re: [nant-dev] MSBuild
Hi Eric.
I don't see much use for NAnt except for legacy stuff.
For what it's worth, I see a place for both tools.
In a significant project I'm working on at the moment, we use MSBuild to
do the actual builds ... But we control it by invoking it from within
NAnt.
Our NAnt scripts take care of a much wider range of activities that
MSBuild doesn't seem to handle nearly as well.
Some examples:
- Database maintenance (dropping existing databases, creating fresh
ones)
- Testing (Nunit and FIT based)
- Creating static (standing) data (through FIT)
- Build Archiving (copying to a known archive directory)
Hope this helps,
Bevan.

Our NAnt scripts take care of a much wider range of activities that MSBuild doesn't seem to handle nearly as well. I concur with this. NAnt isn't the best scripting tool on the planet, but it does a better job at being one than MSBuild. I too wrap MSBuild (as a compiler) with NAnt. Mike - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
