NextGen Build Investigation
Results of preliminary investigations
In investigating solutions that meet the requirements outlined, many strengths and weaknesses were uncovered below is a summary:
| System | Pros | Cons | Comments or Wiki link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ant | flexable | Not designed for OSGi, Needs extension, High Maintenance cost, constantly 'reinventing the wheel' | |
| PDE Build | Less extenstion needed than ant, get many features now have to 'hack' | Complex, tied to Eclipse, uses own implimentation of ant, may still need extensions, high maintenance cost, IDE/headless build separate systems, tied to someone else's process, our versioning will need to change | |
| Buckminster | Flexible, Designed to provide dynamic dependency mapping, is end-to-end build integration system. | closed or slowing development?, more tied to Eclipse than PDEBuild, Complex - uses multible languages (learning cost) | |
| B3 | Next Gen of Buckminster | Incubation |
