Buildr: Another Java Build System
By admin on Jan 13, 2009 in Java, open source
Buildr is a build system for Java applications.
Features
- A simple way to specify projects, and build large projects out of smaller sub-projects.
- Pre-canned tasks that require the least amount of configuration, keeping the build script DRY and simple.
- Compiling, copying and filtering resources, JUnit/TestNG test cases, APT source code generation, Javadoc and more.
- A dependency mechanism that only builds what has changed since the last release.
- A drop-in replacement for Maven 2.0, Buildr uses the same file layout, artifact specifications, local and remote repositories.
- All your Ant tasks belong to us! Anything you can do with Ant, you can do with Buildr.
- No overhead for building “plugins” or configuration. Just write new tasks or functions.
- Buildr is Ruby all the way down. No one-off task is too demanding when you write code using variables, functions and objects.
- Simple way to upgrade to new versions.
- Did we mention fast?
