Hi,
I am new to Java-Ant world. I have basic idea about building projects using
Ant, but mostly it has been taken care by the
IDE used - Netbeans here. The Netbeans generated a build file for my project automatically. Now I would like to have a separate build system where I can download source code from the repository and build it without using Netbeans/IDE. Can anyone suggest how it can be handled - having distinct build system from development system? Also, how is it handled in companies where developers have different kinds of IDE platforms, as IDEs seem to include some IDE specific properties in the build file? Are IDE generated build files ignored by the build system and instead a separate build file is used? I am a student and don't have much idea how things work in multi-developer environment with different types of developer tools.
