Sourceforge daily builds

I currently mantain an open-source project hosted in SourceForge. My project is written in Java using ANT build scripts. (Ant has a few extensions installed, but let's ignore that for now.) Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way to automatically generate daily builds. Is there any workaround I can use. Here is what I want: It sh...

Using ant, does anyone know how to build a SWF made up of SWCs (that you've built) that include resource bundles?

I'm trying to write an ant build script to build my group's flex app, and I've run into some roadblocks that I'm hoping someone on SO has seen before. We have two projects that we build into SWCs and these components contain resource bundles. One SWC requires the other SWC. We have one project that we build into our application (the SWF...

Why does adding a test jar blow up this maven build?

Ok, so I'm getting a little annoyed with Maven 2 right now. The project setup we've got is simple: A "core" project, which is depended on by both a "batch" and "web" project, and an "ear" project which depends on "web". Pretty simple stuff. Well, since core is used quite a bit, and this is the first time the group is actually doing TD...

#include all .cpp files into a single compilation unit?

I recently had cause to work with some Visual Studio C++ projects with the usual Debug and Release configurations, but also 'Release All' and 'Debug All', which I had never seen before. It turns out the author of the projects has a single ALL.cpp which #includes all other .cpp files. The *All configurations just build this one ALL.cpp f...

Building a library across platforms without running all of the platforms

I have a small piece of code that works as a plugin for a larger graphics application. The development platform is Qt with c++ code. I've managed to build a .so, .dylib and .dll for linux, MacOS and Windows respectively, but to do so I had to have a machine running each operating system (in my case, running linux [ubuntu] gcc natively,...

Is it currently possible to build Eclipse Plugins by Maven AND have nice IDE Integration?

I'm currently evaluating maven to improve our build process. The building and creating of normal jar files works so far, although I'm not entirely happy with the Maven IDE. I'm now at that point, where all libs I need for our project are built, and I'm moving on to the Eclipse RCP projects. And now I'm not sure how to go on. There are ...

Why can't you build a website in release mode?

In ASP.Net, if I set up a web application I can configure it to be in release mode but with a website I can only set the configuration to be in debug mode. Why is this? ...

How do I manage building a Lite vs Paid version of an iPhone app?

Hi there; I'm starting to get to the point where I want to consider building a lite version of my iPhone app. I've found a few things on the web that talk about the process a bit, namely: http://developer.apple.com/tools/XCode/XCodeprojects.html http://www.pacificspirit.com/blog/2009/01/27/building_for_multiple_iphone_targets_in_xcode...

I don't understand buckminster at all. Lets say I have a project, and it needs log4j and junit4. How do I get started, what do I need to do, to specify the dependencies and have the dependencies added to my classpath in eclipse. Is there any tutorial which shows how its done? ...

Profiling compilation time

Visual Studio 2008 Unnecessary Project Building

I have a C# project which includes one exe and 11 library files. The exe references all the libraries, and lib1 may reference lib2, lib3, lib4, etc. If I make a change to a class in lib1 and built the solution, I assumed that only lib1 and the exe would need to be changed. However, all dll's and the exe are being built if I want to run ...

Looking for a "build storage filesystem" that can merge duplicate and similar files for increased storage space

Our shop is constantly running out of disk space, because we have a mandate from the developers and management to keep all of the nightly builds, as it greatly aids debugging. Each build generally has few changes. However, almost every file is different from one build to the next, because the compiler and linker insert date/time stamps...

Run web app code from command line?

I have an ASP.NET web application that includes code for enforcing its own database schema ; this code runs on application start. I've recently started using LINQ to SQL, and I've added a pre-build event to run SqlMetal on my database so that I get objects representing my db tables. What would be really cool is if I could enforce the ...

How can I use PowerShell to update build qualities on previous TFS Builds?

We are using TFSDeployer to listen to build quality changes and deploy to our staging environment when it transitions to "Staging". I'd like to have it go ahead and update all of the other builds that have a currently build quality of "Staging" to be "Rejected". This appears to be something that needs to happen inside the PowerShell sc...

Can Visual Studio compile project references into a different folder then the main .exe

Hi SO, I have a WPF Application project with several project references within a single solution in VS 2008. When I compile my solution, all of the referenced dlls are output into the same folder that the main .exe is output into. Is it possible to configure my main .exe project build to output all references in a sub folder relative ...

iPhone: auto zip the executable in the build process

Hello, I would like to add a script that zips the executable after my iphone app is done building. I've tried doing this by adding a Post Build script to the target. However, in the build process, the code-signing procedure occurs after the build scripts are run. Therefore, the app bundle that is zipped is useless for itunes submission....

Ant filter fileset which is referenced by refid

I have a fileset (which is returned from the maven ant task), and it contains all jars I need to repack. This fileset is referenced by a refid. I only want to include our own jars, so I would like to filter that. But ant doesn't support any further attributes or nested tags if a refid is used. Example: fileset is: org.foo.1.jar, org.f...

Ant: How do I fix a WrappedRuntimeException when using <xslt> task?

I tried to use the xslt task in Ant to modify a Hibernate mapping file (*.hbm.xml) using XSLT. However I kept on getting an com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException. If I take out the !DOCTYPE declaration in the source xml file, the following target runs without any error. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing...

How and why do I set up a C# build machine?

Hi all, I'm working with a small (4 person) development team on a C# project. I've proposed setting up a build machine which will do nightly builds and tests of the project, because I understand that this is a Good Thing. Trouble is, we don't have a whole lot of budget here, so I have to justify the expense to the powers that be. So ...
