<H2>Overview</H2> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Antidote is the <A |
|
|
|
|
|
HREF="http://ant.apache.org/index.html">Ant</A> subproject |
|
|
|
|
|
for developing a graphical user interface to facilitate the |
|
|
|
|
|
efficient use of Ant. In general, its purpose is to allow the |
|
|
|
|
|
quick generation, modification, and use of Ant build files, |
|
|
|
|
|
helping the user define a build process and track down build |
|
|
|
|
|
problems. It is not meant to be an IDE, but an enabler for the |
|
|
|
|
|
powerful features available in Ant, particularly for novice |
|
|
|
|
|
users, or users who want a rapid way of controlling their build |
|
|
|
|
|
process.</P> |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Antidote is still in the early stages of development, but does |
|
|
|
|
|
have a set of usable features, including:</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<UL> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Reading Ant build files.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Selecting targets and executing them.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Context highlighted build status console.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Modification of (some) build file components.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Saving modified build file.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
</UL> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Current development tasks include:</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
<UL> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>A more complete set of target and task editing |
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>A wizard for creating basic build files, including importing |
|
|
|
|
|
existing code bases.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>Better build progress monitoring.</LI> |
|
|
|
|
|
</UL> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The Antidote source distribution comes with requirements and |
|
|
|
|
|
design documentation that better cover the details of application |
|
|
|
|
|
architecture, how to develop against it, and what the long term |
|
|
|
|
|
goals are. Furthermore, there is a <code>TODO</code> file listing |
|
|
|
|
|
the detailed, near-term tasks that need accomplishing.</P> |
