I guess script+cron is another option. But I've got a boatload of projects to work with and I don't want to have to customize a bunch of crap to figure out dependencies between projects and what not.
The anthill pro site "http://urbancode.com/products/anthillpro/profeatures.jsp"; has got a pretty good list of features, some of which are nice to have but not absolutely necessary. -john -----Original Message----- From: Henri Yandell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 9:15 AM To: Turbine Maven Users List Subject: Re: Automated Build Tools, Opinions Welcome! It's very low-tech, but I've just been using a bash script+cron to handle the automatic build. It's a pretty simple process. Any checked out cvs project as a sub-directory in the directory it runs with a proejct.xml gets run. It starts by cvs updating, then runs 'maven clean company:build site:generate' where company:build is a simple pointer in each maven.xml to whichever goal is desired to be used for a build. Then it moves any built files/docs out to another directory, checks if any didn't get built and mails everyone, moves the docs/targets to a webserver. Then another machine has a cronned deploy script which runs an hour later, sucks down the latest built file for each project [getting yesterdays if a proejct fails to build] and redeploys the development server. What it doesn't do though is handle version control etc. Each nightly build is whatever version the project.xml is. What actual functionalities are you wanting from your automated build tool?
