OT, but after having implemented most of a build system in Ant (and
the hard parts in Perl), if I had to do it all over again, I'd do it
all in Ruby/Perl except for the java specific steps (Ant has a much
faster way to compile java projects, since it uses internal java API's
rather than invoking javac on a per-directory basis). Ant is kind of
annoying though when it comes to conditionals, copying,
datastructures, etc -- antcontrib helps some, but not a lot.
Has anyone used Rake for any project ... have any comments?
