I would also point out that Ant is not just a non-proprietary *Java* build tool. It is a non-proprietary built tool, period. I'm using Cruise Control and Ant to build Delphi and C++ binaries and to package those binaries into an installer with NSIS. In fact, I currently have no Java in my project source anywhere.

Solofnenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 15, 2004 08:11 To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: winning the case for ANT What do they propose? What type of projects are you going to build? Even though I am using ANT everywhere, other people successfully use VisualStudio to build their projects. Maybe your coworkers' ideas have merits. Long time ago we tried to use Make to build our projects and soon we hit a command line length restriction. ANT handles most of the complexity while still allowing to run external commands. - Alexey.
