Optimize your entire Java build and release process with ClearCase®, Ant, and CruiseControl
Better builds mean better software.Effective, regular build processes accelerate development and improvequality, helping you identify small problems early, before they growcomplex and costly to fix. Now, there’s a step-by-step guide tocreating Java build processes that are right for yourorganization. Leading build and release management expert Kevin Leeintroduces best practices for integrating and using three exceptionallypowerful and recognized industry standard tools: IBM Rational®ClearCase software configuration management system, the open source Antbuild tool, and CruiseControl for automating continuous builds.

No previous build experience is necessary:Lee thoroughly explains everything from configuring SCM environmentsand defining build scripts through to release packaging and deployment.He offers solutions and techniques for both Base ClearCase andUnified Change Management (UCM)–IBM Rational’s best practice SoftwareConfiguration Management usage model. Key techniques are presented inreal-world context, through a full-fledged three-tier application casestudy.
