Build scripts are an essential art in any software project. And yet
they are so often fragile, brittle and unportable things, hard to
understand and harder to maintain. In this talk, we cover what
constitutes a good build script, and look at a few of the essential
rules in writing one.
John Smart, creator of the Java Power Tools Bootcamp, will look at
general techniques that are applicable to any build scripting
technology, as well as some technology-specific tips for Ant and Maven.
