I'm not worried about nAnt's XML syntax. I live and breath Ant scripts all day anyway. I'm just a tad dissapointed in the lack of features in nAnt compared to Ant. It's not quite fair. That nantpad looks similar to the ant support in Eclipse. hmmm. Anyway, I'm looking for something I can automate on the Linux Webserver too, so that when I do checkins, it can autobuild a new snapshot build instantly. Garrett Hmmm. Maybe I should build an SWT wrapper for Scintilla Next, so I can use it in eclipse; ________________________________ From: scintillanet-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of mjm Sent: Thu 6/3/2004 11:11 AM Subject: [ScintillaNET] Re: Automating build for .NET > 2. VS.NET doesn't have support for prebuild/postbuild tasks you have prebuild/postbuild events in project properties..e.g. I am using it to copy lexxer dll into build directory, and cleanup.. Anyway, I am using Nant, mainly because I am using ant a lot.. and I always thought nant was better because of it's longer name :P You could try use nantpad, it makes bit less primitive: http://www.nantpad.com/default.aspx -m
