What do you think about this build tool? I’m thinking of migrating from maven2 to raven (my poms are getting bigger and bigger), but I’d like to hear some opinions first.
Thanks!
@andre:
Thank’s for writing but I was actually looking for real experiences using raven. Anyway, the fact that nobody wrote is an indicator by itself (it seems few people are using it)
I haven’t used either Raven or Buildr, but I have heard good things about the latter. In this blog article by Assaf Arkin, there is a nice case study: a 5,443 line, 52 file Maven configuration was reduced to 485 lines of Buildr. And, even though everybody says ‘Ruby is slow’, Buildr was 2-6x faster than Maven.
Also, unlike Raven, Buildr seems to still be maintained: it is currently in the incubator stage as an official Apache project.
