Hey. I try to get some structure into group projects. Though people have different taste in IDE (and OS) I could get everybody to make sure his project can be build by a simple ant set up. As this eliminated projects with unclear dependencies (like flash components or FTD classpath adds nowhere mentioned), enabled personal builds, also quick checkouts from repository and fixes are now possible, because there is no need for hassling around with IDE setups etc, you can edit in nano, vim or what ever and run the ant from commandline.
As this is a success and I can only encourage everybody in diverse group to use it, my next step would be to make the ants more sophisticated and formalize the source. As ANT comes from the java corner, you find a lot on using ANT with beautifier, formatter, 'plugins' that check on formal code quality like icontract, jdepend, pmd etc. As a lot of developers do not have a formal training its a hell of a job to go through all the source code and rectify it so if you have to reopen the project the next programmer does not run a way after seeing the gibberish code. My question would be if there is anything into that direction available for AS3? And if so, where and if used, what's the experience? Thanks so much up in advance.
