(Maven & Gradle can't build the system without all sorts of complex and convoluted configurations. bld is off-the-charts simple and portable. The documentation makes this clear and gives a full explanation why.) ant is used as a bridge between bld and an IDE's ant integration. Maven is used to describe dependencies to GitHub. Gradle is an experiment. Maven and Gradle build files were removed before I started NetBeans. It is not expected nor necessary for NetBeans to know about bld. The scripts are ancillary utility scripts not normally used. --blake blakemcbride.com > > In situations with multiple project build configs you would have to pick > one before > opening it.
