Using ANT to build Synergy applications

[Declan McCann <de...@icscomputing.co.uk>]

We have a system written in Synergy and are currently building it on
windows using a set of DOS batch files and building it on OpenVMS using
a set of DCL command files.

 

We would like to use a proper build tool for this.

 

Is it possible to configure ANT to work with languages other than java,
such as Synergy in our case?

 

If so, how difficult / time consuming would it be to set up?

Re: Using ANT to build Synergy applications

You can consider
1) in a first phase, using ant just as a wrapper, and call your old batches
(using the exec task)

2) replacing incrementally your batches by custom tasks

The second solution can be the best, will require that you do some
development. There are plenty of resources (ant manual, wiki) which explain
how to create custom ant tasks.

Cheers,
Antoine
