Ant Strategies
For a while now, I have been playing with the notion of posting an article on the strategies that I use to develop and maintain Ant build scripts. The hump that I have had to get over however was the fact that I needed to sit down, structure my thoughts and write two or more thousand words on this subject. Due to other interests and obligations this is never likely to happen. Instead I have opted for writing this article incrementally with a blog entry for each strategy.
Before getting started, if you are interested in learning more about Ant prior to being influenced by my suggestions, check out the Apache Ant project home page. You may also find a recent article by Russ Olsen in addition to the Top 15 Ant Best Practices article over at OnJava to be good starting points.
