O'Reilly OnJava.com has a recent article introducing Raven, a JRuby based build tool for Java. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2007/12/05/introducing-raven-an-elegant-build-for-java.html The article is very intro. It doesn't demonstrate any payoffs for using Ruby as opposed to other scripting languages like CMake script. Raven is gaining notoriety in the Java world, however, because it is offering scriptability for the build system where Ant and Maven do not. The end of the article briefly mentions 2 other Ruby-based build tools that are trying to solve Java build problems, with different approaches than Raven. http://antwrap.rubyforge.org/ http://incubator.apache.org/buildr/ I intend to find out if any of these tools have been used for large projects, and if they exist, whether Ruby has demonstrated any remarkable advantages.
