Project Description

Anthill is a tool that ensures a controlled build process and promotes the sharing of knowledge within an organization. Anthill performs a checkout from the source repository of the latest version of a project before every build and tags the repository with a unique build number after every build. It supports many reposistory adapters including: CVS (Concurrent Versions System), Visual Source Safe, Perforce, PVCS, StarTeam, MKSIntegrity, and FileSystem. Anthill also automatically updates a project intranet site with artifacts from the latest build. Anthill is an extension to the Apache-Ant project and is compatible with version 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 of Ant.

1.6.1

This version makes sure that the work directory is clean at the start of the build rather than at the end, features better error handling when anthill home directory is invalid, makes it possible to edit the home directory via the Anthill properties UI, gets the revision log for forced builds, moves schedule configuration files and the anthill registry to <anthill> /projects, which makes upgrades easier, optionally executes the publish script even if the build script fails, tags successful builds only by default rather than all builds, and includes many bugfixes.

The functionality changes in this build are pretty minor. There is a fix to the stylesheet problem on JBoss with Jetty, Ant 1.4 has been dropped from the distribution, junit.jar and jdepend.jar have been added to the distribution, and Anthill-Example, a preconfigured project, has been added to the distribution.

1.5.40

This release adds a fix to the Date format in the VSS adapter, sending
of email messages for failed builds only, better handling of
exceptions in servlets and JSPs, and many more bugfixes. Many
Perforce updates have been added. Perforce RepositoryAdapter can now
optionally specify a view to be used for a project; this allows the
Perforce RA to be used in scenarios in which one client configuration
is used for multiple projects and in scenarios in which each project
has its own client configuration.

1.5.5

A build status indicator has been added to the main page. Now you can see whether the last build of any project succeeded or failed right on the main Anthill page. Tagging the source repository can be configured to happen always, only on successful builds, or never. The build email messages can now be customized based on a template. JVM properties can be configured for when Anthill invokes Ant. For example, the initial and max heap sizes can be set. Ant 1.5.1 is now included in the distribution of Anthill. There are also many bugfixes.
