One of my New Years Resolutions for 2009 is to switch to NetBeans from Eclipse as I am tired of all the bs about the Update Manager not being fixed an other issues. While there is NetBeans Android plugin for the SDK called UnAndroid, it relies more upon having a build script in place than the Eclipse version of ADT.
Thus, I will be detailing the first version of my Ant Build Script for Android with full source in a wiki article and post that hopefully by afternoon. I am just sticking to basics of using autoandroid ant tasks so that everyone can take the build script source and build upon it , play with it, and etc. Even though I am using NetBeans you should be able to use the build script in any IDE, the only thing different is I am using a more detailed project properties file than you might be use to as it is the easiest way to fuly integrate with Netbeans way of doing things.
For those that have viewed my demo videos at my YoutTube Channel and to those who will I do appreicate it as part of my intentions of makng videocast demos is that I want to bring attention tothis new way of developing mobile web application using device functions such as GPS and only using javscript to access those objects. And of course to raise Google awareness of the PhoneGap project. Thus, if I have not said it enough, Thank You.
