I'm writing a small note on Agile build tools. It's the last part in what became a three part PDF series on Agile software development and tools: the first went over a series of "smell tests" to judge how Agile an organization is, while the second went over some Agile automation tools. I'll post these sometime in the near future.
Anyhow, as I say, I'm writing one on build tools: things like the old stand by, CruiseControl. While I have some technologies in question, I wanted to ask you, dear readers if you had any ideas. There's always ant, maven, and the non-Java equivalents. But, I'll bet several of you know of other tools and even practices. In my mind, the ultimate goal of a "build tool" in this context is to automatically perform builds at least once daily, if not more frequently and, if possible, package up the application such that the build is ready to use. Running tests is of course required as well.
