There's a new builder in town.

This article on The Server Side serves as the official announcement for a new Java build system Geert and yours truly have been working on.

The article does a pretty good at summarizing what Bld is about, so I won't rehash it here.

So, if you're tired of fighting with your build system, and are looking for a pretty straight forward pure Java build system, please give Bld a try.

Sure, it's a little rough around the edges. And there are features that still need to be implemented. But I'm already using it for a few of my projects, which has truly been a refreshing breath of clean air. Of course, I'm a bit biased.

Bld was created because we're not really interested in build tools. We'd rather be coding.
