Hi Peter,
We have hundreds of jobs and historically had some sharp edges when
trying to build with netbeans xml/ant on Jenkins.
Many years ago we finally made the decision to use Netbeans stock
xml/ant for just the IDE and have gradle build files in the job
repository to build on our Jenkins. This allowed us to keep the
development environment fast and featureful, whilst keeping our business
domain logic and automation conceptually separate.
This does however give you an overhead of 2 tool sets, which is not for
everyone, however in reality at scale has proved to be great for us,
especially as at the time of writing there were IDE UI features with
ant/xml that our team of developers used, that were absent from maven
and gradle plugins at the time (things may of moved on now).
Obviously Netbeans itself is built with Ant and built on automated build
systems, so i bet there are some clever people on this mailing list that
will have plenty of tips.
If you could outline the exact issue you are having, with any error
stacktraces or messages then I'm sure the community will be able to help. :)
