The z2-Environment is an open source infrastructure to develop, configure, and run standard Java solutions without build infrastructure nor deployment procedures and so reduces development operations costs significantly.
During development and maintenance you do not need to have a local build environment installed that complements your source code.
The z2-Environment rebuilds Java sources as required and selectively from your development workspace leading to fast development roundtrips and consistent deployments, and ultimately to minimized integration pains.
The Android Build Cookbook offers code snippets to help you quickly implement some common build tasks. For additional instruction, please see the other build documents in this section.
sbt is a simple build tool for Scala projects that aims to do the basics well. It requires Java 1.5 or later.
Features
* Fairly fast, unintrusive, and easy to set up for simple projects
* Configuration is done in Scala
* The default source directory layout is the same as maven's so you can always switch to maven should you need/want to
* Regardless of what sources you have added, changed, or removed, sbt should (in theory) recompile the right sources using information extracted from compilation with a compiler plugin
* Supports ScalaCheck, specs, and ScalaTest.
* Can generate documentation with scaladoc
* Packages jars (classes, sources, or api docs)
* Can start the Scala interpreter with the right classpath (dependencies and compiled classes)
* Multiple project/subproject support
* Parallel task execution, including parallel test execution
* Dependency management support: basic inline declarations, configuration with Maven (partial support) or Ivy, or manual management.
This plugin for Maven 2 is based on the BND tool from Peter Kriens. The way BND works is by treating your project as a big collection of classes (e.g., project code, dependencies, and the class path). The way you create a bundle with BND is to tell it the content of the bundle's JAR file as a subset of the available classes. This plugin wraps BND to make it work specifically with the Maven 2 project structure and to provide it with reasonable default behavior for Maven 2 projects.
Since the 1.4.0 release, this plugin also aims to automate OBR (OSGi Bundle Repository) management. It helps manage a local OBR for your local Maven repository, and also supports remote OBRs for bundle distribution. The plug-in automatically computes bundle capabilities and requirements, using a combination of Bindex and Maven metadata.
