Hi Buildr folks, My ultimate goal in adopting a Java build system is to have a single-command process that can check code out of source control, build it, and deploy it. Now that I've read through all the Buildr documentation, it seems that Buildr is perfect for building, and I also think it can be comfortably pressed into service for deployment using custom tasks that stop/start Windows services and copy files around (we are using JBoss + wrapper).
However, I'm still not sure of the best way to automate the first step, getting the code (and buildfile!) out of Subversion. Does anyone use Buildr for this? How do you approach it? Or do you use a non-Buildr Rakefile or just a shell script as a "bootstrap" step? I'd really appreciate some tips or, better yet, example scripts. -- Will
