Leveraging Existing Tools In Your Builds

One of the key aspects of a well oiled development workflow is the effective integration of different fit-for-purpose tools. While Gradle offers a lot out of the box, there are many great tools out there that can help you and your team at build time with many different kinds of tasks. Fortunately, Gradle is an extensible kit and offers many ways for you to leverage such tools easily.

We'll look at the techniques and APIs available for integrating tools such as code generators, web browsers, language runtimes, and even other build systems. Using embedded libraries, external processes, external Java processes, Ant tasks and even forked workers, you'll learn how you can extend Gradle by integrating your favorite tools.

In Defense of Kanban

Posted By: Alan Shalloway on Jun. 8, 2013

As many folks know, Net Objectives does both Scrum and Kanban. Admittedly, our Scrum is very much like Scrumban (or Scrum done under the context of Lean) but it is still an implementation of Scrum.  Scrum, as it normally manifests itself, has several c

Posted By: Bruce Snyder on Jun. 7, 2013

While installing PostgreSQL 9.0 on Mac OS X again, I had to figure out all these steps yet again. So I'm documenting this process for my own sake because I have been through this now twice on two computers recently, having to hunt down all of these comm
